Can you help identify a bush?
There is a bush I've seen that I wish to identify so I can find such a bush to purchase. I've seen it grow maybe 10-15 feet tall. It does not have a trunk or a single point it grows out of the ground, instead it grows from a single 'stalk' - a bunch of these stalks grow closely straight up. They get flowers but the flowers are not thick and lush, they are random and seem to always be a pinkish or salmon color. The 'bush' has thorns but not like a rose - they are longer and sparse on the stems. The bush I have seen grows babies - they pop up in the lawn all over so it can be kept in check by mowing all around it. It doesn't grow up and out like a lilac, it just goes straight up and the top doesn't grow even. It makes a great privacy hedge - not too tall, not short, pretty much maintenance free except for mowing where you don't want it to grow. Can anyone help me figure out what it might be?

It would be a little easier in the future if we knew the zone or area you live in to help with identifying it. I'm only guessing based on your description. I hope this helps.
