Living rose fence aids farms and wildlife in Southern Illinois
Southern Illinois farmers embrace the multi flora rose as a permanent living fence solving fencing and shelter needs. Five million rose plants will be shipped statewide from the Union State forest near Jonesboro, with Carbondale Sportsmen’s Club distributing plants via State Department of Conservation programs to aid farmers and Southern Illinois University properties. The rose fence offers low maintenance, no posts or trimming, and superior wildlife cover, though plantings require protection from grazing for several years.
