    REGULATORY HORTICULTURE [Vol. 9, No.1-2] Weed Circular No. 6 Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture April & October 1983 Bureau of Plant Industry Multiflora Rose, Rosa multiflora Thunb. Rosaceae. Robert J. Hill I. Nomenclature: A) Rosa multiflora Thunb. (Fig. 1); B) Multiflora rose; C) Synonyms: Rosa Dawsoniana Hort., R. polyantha Sieb. & Zucc., R. polyanthos Roessia., R. thyrsiflora Leroy, R. intermedia, Carr., and R. Wichurae Kock. Fig. 1. Multiflora rose. A) berrylike hips, B)leaf, note pectinate stipules (arrow), C) stem (cane). II. History: The genus Rosa is a large group of plants comprised of about 150 species, of which one-third are indigenous to America. Gray's Manual of Botany (Fernald 1970) lists 24 species (13 native; 11 introduced, 10 of these fully naturalized) for our range. Gleason and Cronquist (l968) cite 19 species (10 introductions). The disagreement in the potential number of species encountered in Pennsylvania arises from the confused taxonomy of a highly variable and freely crossing group. In fact, there are probably 20,000 cultivars of Rosa known. Bailey (1963) succinctly states the problem: "In no other genus, perhaps, are the opinions of botanists so much at variance in regard to the number of species." The use of roses by mankind has a long history. The Romans acquired a love for roses from the Persians. After the fall of Rome, roses were transported by the Benedictine monks across the Alps, and by the 700's AD garden roses were growing in southern France. The preservation and expansion of these garden varieties were continued by monasteries and convents from whence they spread to castle gardens and gradually to more humble, secular abodes.

  • Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service
    Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Daniel G. Milchunas General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-169 April 2006 Milchunas, Daniel G. 2006. Responses of plant communities to grazing in the southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-169. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract Grazing by wild and domestic mammals can have small to large effects on plant communities, depend- ing on characteristics of the particular community and of the type and intensity of grazing. The broad objective of this report was to extensively review literature on the effects of grazing on 25 plant commu- nities of the southwestern U.S. in terms of plant species composition, aboveground primary productiv- ity, and root and soil attributes. Livestock grazing management and grazing systems are assessed, as are effects of small and large native mammals and feral species, when data are available. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary history of grazing and productivity of the particular communities as deter- minants of response. After reviewing available studies for each community type, we compare changes in species composition with grazing among community types. Comparisons are also made between southwestern communities with a relatively short history of grazing and communities of the adjacent Great Plains with a long evolutionary history of grazing. Evidence for grazing as a factor in shifts from grasslands to shrublands is considered. An appendix outlines a new community classification system, which is followed in describing grazing impacts in prior sections.

  • 'O Rose Thou Art Sick': Floral Symbolism in William Blake's Poetry
    ‘O Rose Thou Art Sick’: Floral Symbolism in William Blake’s Poetry Noelia Malla1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online March 2014 The primary aim of this paper is to analyse the symbolic implications of Key words: floral imagery in William Blake’s poetry. More specifically, this study William Blake; explores the process of floral (re)signification of William Blake’s Songs of Songs of Innocence and of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) as case studies. Since Experience; “Without contraries [there] is no progression” (Marriage of Heaven and The Sick Rose; Hell, plate 3), it can be argued that the Songs represent contrary aspects floral imagery. of the human condition that far from contradicting each other, establish a static contrast of shifting tensions and revaluation of the flower-image not only as a perfect symbol of the “vegetable” life rooted to the Earth but also as a figure longing to be free. In some sense at some level, the poetic- prophetic voice asserts in the Songs of Experience the state of corruption where man has fallen into. Ultimately, this study will explore how the failure to overcome the contrast that is suggested in the Songs will be deepened by the tragedy of Thel, which is symbolized by all unborn forces of life, all sterile seeds as an ultimate means of metaphorical regeneration throughout Poetry which constitutes in itself the Poet Prophet’s own means of transcending through art. William Blake (1757-1827) was the first English poet to work out the revolutionary structure of imagery that (re)signifies through the Romantic poetry.

  • (GISD) 2021. Species Profile Rosa Multiflora. Available From
    FULL ACCOUNT FOR: Rosa multiflora Rosa multiflora System: Terrestrial Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Plantae Magnoliophyta Magnoliopsida Rosales Rosaceae Common name baby rose (English), Japanese rose (English), multiflora rose (English), seven-sisters rose (English) Synonym Rosa cathayensis , (Rehd. & Wilson) Bailey Similar species Summary Rosa multiflora is a perennial shrub that forms dense, impenetrable thickets of vegetation . It colonises roadsides, old fields, pastures, prairies, savannas, open woodlands and forest edges and may also invade dense forests where disturbance provides canopy gaps. It reproduces by seed and by forming new plants that root from the tips of arching canes that contact the ground. Rosa multiflora is tolerant of a wide range of soil and environmental conditions and is thought to be limited by intolerance to extreme cold temperatures. Many species of birds and mammals feed on the hips of Rosa multiflora; dispersing the seeds widely. R. multiflora can colonise gaps in late-successional forests, even though these forests are thought to be relatively resistant to invasion by non-native species. It invades pasture areas, degrades forage quality, reduces grazing area and agricultural productivity and can cause severe eye and skin irritation in cattle. There are many strategies available to manage and control R. multiflora involving physical, chemical and biological means. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description Munger (2002) states that R. multiflora \"bushes grow to a height of 1.8 to 3 metres and occasionally 4.6m. Stems (canes) are few to many, originating from the base, much branched, and erect and arching to more or less trailing or sprawling.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.
