Is there a program to help control and clear Rose Multiflora?
Question:
I have Rose Multiflora all over my property. I was told by a neighbor that there is a program to get help to get the rosa under control and cleared out. Is this true and would you have information about it?
Answer:
I’m not aware of any programs to help with multiflora rose removal, but I do have a few resources for you to check with:
State of Maine List of Private Companies for Invasive Species Removal
Maine Soil and Water Conservation Districts page
UMaine Cooperative Extension Bulletin #2509, Multiflora Rose
Maine Natural Areas Program page on Multiflora rose
You may have more luck reaching out to the Soil and Water Conservation District above, or to a private company on the above list. The last two links contain information for homeowners on the plant and how to begin combating it.
