    Lovely. I hope that they smell as good as they look. Despite the ecological problems caused by the introduced Rosa multiflora, it maintains its rosy aroma.

      R. multiflora rules out at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. It was in full bloom last week.

      At least it has a smell; so many of the cultivated ones are dead to the nose.
