Spineless Rose Shoots

<< < (2/2)

Sparrow:
The wild rose that grows over in eastern Washington has almost no pith,when dry,it gets a very good spine to it,I was spining arrows to my 64 lb. bow with no problems.Might be growing in the drier climate makes a difference or it's another type of wild rose.  Frank

TRACY:
I use multi flora and swamp rose(super spiny ;D) for shafts and don't have a problem with a pith or spine(64#). I also get pretty selective when cutting shoots, mainly 3/8 ths dia. I like the idea of adding the bamboo to stiffen the spine. Looks good!
