I will go with what the others have said. I will not say it is a honey locust , I would like to see the leaves first. My advice is, if it is a honey locust is to spray or paint the stump when you cut it. Mine have always come back, for years. I have sprayed the small ones with Glyphosate, and a 50/50 mixture of glyphosate and 2 4 D. They look dead but will still come back. cutting them down is not the answer, unless you can cut them down often. Brush hogging the down once a year is not enough, they will still get large enough to grow thorns before the next cutting, the thorns are murder on tractor and truck tires. I have had some of the high powered killer like Dawn is talking about for a few years, but afraid to use it because the trees are along a creek bank and I dont want to get the chemical in the water. I have some that I want to make a very long drill bit and drill holes into the trunk and squirt the chemical into the trunk. The trees are so thorny you cant get close to them. I dont like to use chemicals , but in many cases I have to. I am about ready to mix up gal and go spray the ones I can spray safely. The good news is, it does not look like my Honey Locust. I dont see well, but I did not see thorns in the picture. My Honey Locust that size would have thorns all over it, big thorns!

Has this rose ever been placed in the shade? Is this the true color? Are the leaves the right color or are they darker? Does this rose smell fragrant? I am leaning toward a bourbon, but if there is no fragrance, perhaps not. I would like to see a whole plant picture if you have one. Is there a paucity of thorns? If this is quite fragrant and can bloom in partial shade, it might be Zephrine Drouhin. This post was edited by patricia43 on Tue, Jul 22, 14 at 1:05

Could you post the picture?

that weird stuff was a problem but as Tamara said they have that worked out now and most of the other glitches. I too worry about edited posts causing chaos and possible drama and even heated discussions. But when we edit it does state that the post has been edited that can not be hidden it is always there to see and the time stamp is there also. On most of the computer help forums I am on for reasons of keeping them in order and consise it is set up that you have a time limit in which you can edit your post and if someone has already posted after you then you can no longer edit since it could confuse the context of the thread. I personally like that method best because I have been on some forums (not computer) where some people purposely posted then removed nasty posts just to "stir the pot" and cause drama. Those kind of people like to find ways to do that. Hopefully it will not happen here. I would guess if it is not handled well and the way the powers that be think it should it can easily be taken away just as it was given to us. Adults play nice with your new toy LOL
