What are they? Summery Out side species introduced mainly by
humans Can be animals, plants, or even bacteria. Organisms that are
introduced to a new environment free of predators and unfit
conditions will flourish Often kills native species Chokes them
out
Slide 3
Multiflora Rose Prime example Rosa multiflora Thunb. Rose
family (Rosaceae)
Slide 4
Multiflora Rose lifecycle Reproduces through seeds within
fruits birds enjoy This helps them spread far Rooting at tips of
canes reproduces Flowering begins in may Fruits develop in later
summer Seeds can stay good for 20 years
Slide 5
Locations Comman pasture weed in Northeastern and midwestern
U.S. Not in Rocky Mountains, the Southeastern Coastal Plains, and
the Nevada and California desert areas. Does not do well in
north.
Slide 6
Complications caused by Rose Invades prairies, savannas, open
woodlands, and forest edges. It replaces other vegetation Is thorny
and shrub that can form fences Can block off areas
Slide 7
Why does it matter? They can kill off common plants Harms
wildlife dependent on local plants Can block entire areas off from
humans Illegal to sell or breed Acts as a weed, spreads fast
Slide 8
Where is it from? Introduced from Japan in 1866 Used as stock
for ornamental roses Used to combat erosion Used to create fences
for livestock
Slide 9
Range of spread Grows well in most conditions Can not grow in
standing water Cant tolerate winter temperatures below 28F Cant
live in extremely dry habitats This limits it from the North and
deserts
Slide 10
Methods to control Fires can eliminate them, and all plants
Mowing works, however all roots must be destroyed Using herbicides
on freshly cut stems (Glyphosate) Rose rosette disease can kill it
Can also infect local plants
Slide 11
Why is it bad? It grows very densely Kills local plant life
Spreads fast Hard to control Harms wildlife Creates fences
