My boss says it grows little red berries also. I know it's not much to go on, but we'd really like to figure this out. thanks for the help.

Ok, after checking the images of these plants: 1. It's definitely not a Holly 2. It looks similar to Privet, spp., but the leaves are round, small, and dark green - although can get up to 1" or so long. i found samples of this hedge allowed to grow free and it can grow like 30'. the flowers are white, composite, small clusters that are fragrant like privet's, however. i would say it is very similar to privet, spp.

Wow, thank you for all your suggestions. I'm thinking it must be a box or privet honeysuckle. My plan is to cut it down to about a foot (as someone indicated above). Over the years, as it grew, the owners just trimmed the side of the shrub so that it wouldn't block the path on the side of the house. So it just grew higher and higher and now has started leaning over the path. So now it's just an annoyance and gets beat up on by anyone walking down the path. Knowing what it is I can now get it healthy and healthy-looking again. Thank you again! Your efforts are much appreciated. flora uk: there are some red leaves on top that have fallen from a nearby japanese maple, but it's all just the honeysuckle in the photo.

Trace the stem down to the ground and pull it out. All the rose needs is some regular watering and a bit of food. I recommend using Rose-tone or Plant-Tone (follow directions) available at placed like Home Depot or Lowes or online. I assume the rose is planted where it receives 6 or more hours of sun a day? If not, you might think about transplanting it to a better location. Pull up the weeds around the base of the rose. Putting 1-2 inches of mulch there would be nice. Sorry--I have no idea what rose that is. Good luck, Kate
