What is this flower?

RE: What is this flower? By Penny (Guest Post) I believe this white blossom is from a mock orange bush as some of the other writers mentioned too. It is very prolific and has a wonderful scent. You may want to cut it back but I would not destroy it. It is truly lovely Posted on 05/31/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By susanmajp (944) Profile Contact While it might very well be wild rose, in my neck of the woods plants and flowers that look very similar are wild blackberry bushes. I've spent many summers picking the wonderful berries for cobblers and pies. Posted on 05/25/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By Karen (Guest Post) I believe what you have is indeed a rose bush gone wild. This is exactly what happened to one of my rose bushes that grew from the root stock; it turned into a wild rose bush. I let mine be as it is; it is not the hybrid I planted but it provides beautiful clusters of rose hips in the fall that I use for dried arrangements. And as you say, the fragrance is lovely.

It says they are invasive. Posted on 05/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower?

The Mock Orange blossom is similar, but the leaves are very different. The flower of the mock orange is not as delicate, lasts nicely cut in bouquets. I think it may be in a berry family, but not sure what it iis...but it is not Mock Orange...they wouldn't spread like that and have woody branches and stems.

Posted on 05/19/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By Angie (Guest Post) The name of it is a "Mock Orange". We had one in the yard when I was a child.

By brwnis65 (10) Contact Here is a picture of what i have been clearing...we moved recently and the area around our home is covered with this...as I said earlier wild rose or multifloral Posted on 05/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By Jilson (323) Contact Looks like multiflora rose, a wild rose variety that is very hardy and (in some areas) invasive. It is a nice plant to have, just keep it well pruned. It makes good hips for the birds in winter. Posted on 05/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By brwnis65 (10) Contact in MS where I grew up we call it a wild rose bush. It can be kept trimmed and grown on a trilis to keep from overtaking your yard. In NC where I now live they call it multifloral. I have seen this flower in white and pink. I have spent last 3 days clearind a bank it has taken over so you will want to keep trimmed and "train" to grow on trilis. Hope this helps.

By angelhon (Guest Post) The flower looks like a Wild Rose Bush. Posted on 05/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is this flower? By Survivalwoman (Guest Post) Wild Rose , I grew up in Mid TN and The Smell Wafts across areas the brambles resemble black berry but you will find tiny tatsefull vit c packed rosehips in early to mid winter that have a tart and peculiarly satisfying tatse. (as a child it was like winter candy that grew on bushes) Posted on 05/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
