rosa canina:

invasive

Rosa Canina will crowd out other roses, as well as some other plants.

It is edible to wildlife. Rosa Canina is native to Europe, Northwest Africa,

and Western Asia.

Our 6th and 7th grade class has been trying to answer the question of whether we should preserve the Palouse Prairie that has 99.9% disappeared.  One of our case studies involved native and invasive plant species and their current role in the Prairie ecosystem.
