How do you get starters from an already established wild rose bush? I live in NE Oklahoma.

What looks like rose bushes have been growing in my flower beds (without being planted). This is the 4th or 5th year that they have been around. They have never bloomed and I'm wondering if I should just pull them all or is there something I can do to make them bloom? They look like they might be a small tea rose - if they are rose bushes. Thank you. Sallyj
Hi Sally. It sounds like there may have been some rosebushes planted there at one time. The top part of the bushes died most likely so folks either dug them out or just cut them way down and placed dirt over them. The roots from the hardy root stock are still trying to survive so they send up little rose shoots here and there. Some of these will never bloom, others may bloom eventually with large flat deep red blooms or pink blooms. However these root stock survivors can become very vigorous and totally take over the garden areas they are in, so be careful in letting them grow if that is what you decide to do.
Can I grow wild roses ("species roses") on my balcony? I live in an apartment with a large balcony, no yard. Thanks.
My wild roses are done blooming and there are many red balls on the ends. What are they??
Those would be rose hips or the fruit of the rose. Neat to see them and especially pretty in winter snows. Article Link: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-hip-information.htm
We found a wild rose bush in the edge of woods and transplanted it. When can we expect it to bloom?
I forgot to give you this link to an article on wild roses and care:

It should bloom for you the following Spring after transplanting. Some bloom only once per season and that is early in the season. Others will bloom very well while some young ones that have yet to mature can take 2 to 3 years.
Wild roses have come up in a wild part of my garden. Are they likely to produce flowers if I encourage the plants? How long is it likely to take?
Not all wild roses are desirable. One that can just show up is the invasive multiflora rose; this you absolutely do not want and removal is advised. Stems quickly grow long and arching and thorns are large. It blooms once in spring. Another surprise rose is Rosa rugosa "beach rose". This spreads slowly by underground stolons and will form a colony in 10 years. Of course, you can remove unwanted new plants. Rose hips are nice on beach rose. They bloom all summer but not with the big flush of blooms seen in hybrid roses. There are native wild roses and these flower with dainty, simply blooms. They are usually under 3 ft tall. Their open flower makes it easier for pollinators to reach nectar and pollen. If you send a photo we might be able to recognize which one you have. Being in bloom helps.
The bush has grown in and around my trumpet vines..
These are, certainly, wild roses! Compare with other photos online to see the similarities in flower structure.
It looks more like a wild rose bush, which would have thorns. Here is more information:

thanks but the blooms are only white with yellow in center like mock orange blooms. I am also in Cape Cod, Mass and the soil is sandy and it os growing in shade, so still not sure what it is..
