Multiflora Rose:

Eradication Timeline

• Season One: 2-3 grazings to initially shock the plant. Stripping it of its leaves and thorny steams to pull energy from roots.

• Season Two: 2 to 3 grazings to deplete the plants' energy reserves. Doing this for two consecutive years will kill off the smaller, weaker plants.

• Seasons 3 & 4: Large thickets can take up to 4 seasons of grazing.
