Dear friends, I havn't time at the moment to add to this page as needed. This beatiful plant is also a serious invasive (environmental weed) in SE Australia. Specifcally it invades threatened grasslands around Melbourne, along with other shrubs alters the structure of the vegetation and ultmately the floristics. <<http://www.weeds.org.au/cgi-bin/weedident.cgi?tpl=plant.tpl&ibra=all&card=S24>> The upside is that in degraded vegetation it provides useful protection for birds from predators, namely exotic cats and foxes! --Jppigott 07:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

No, the invasive one (at least according to the reference you supply) is Rosa rubiginosa which is a different species. The article there already said it is invasive in New Zealand; I added Australia. Kingdon 03:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Planting instructions?

I am searching for planting instructions and not having great luck. If anyone can provide them (add them to article?), that would be great. Thanks.--Kgerhard 21:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I know how to transplant them. Here on the Oregon coast they're moderately invasive and require regular attention to keep them from taking over a garden; I used to just dig them up, but started transplanting to a conservation project. What I don't know is if they can be propagated from cuttings; I'd appreciate if someone could find that. Dismalscholar (talk) 02:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
