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.
Rosa multiflora earned its place in old gardens for good reason—those cascading sprays of tiny white flowers fill the air with sweetness every spring, and the rose hips that follow keep birds fed through winter.

Plant responsibly.
