Etymology
The word multiflora comes from the Latin parts multi- 'many' and -flora 'flowers', so it means 'many flowers'. That's why multiflora is used for plants, like certain roses, that produce lots of small blooms in clusters and are often used for hedges or as the base for grafting other roses.
