Rosa multiflora, Pittsburgh, PA, 2019
Before the seemingly ceaseless rains began, the wild roses came into bloom. They grow too densely around a wild mulberry tree. I say 'wild' because I didn't plant the mulberry. A bird or deer deposited seed-laden poop and voila! Mulberry. I don't know how the wild roses got there, possibly the same way as the mulberry, or a previous owner could've planted them, but then other vegetation suppressed their growth, and now conditions are more suited to their re-emergence.
After blooming I will cut them back, but next year they'll be too dense again.
