rose seed planting 2 pack x Growing Multiflora Roses 30 seeds for planting

Multiflora rose seeds produce a vigorous climbing species with clusters of small, fragrant white flowers—ideal for wildlife hedges and erosion control. This 2-pack includes 30 seeds per packet for establishing robust plantings. Check local regulations before planting, as Rosa multiflora is considered invasive in many US states.

This 2-pack of 30 seeds per packet gives you the material for a dense, wildlife-friendly hedge. Just know what you're getting into: this species grows fast, spreads freely, and requires management. Plant responsibly.
