Searching the internet for pix to help ID this....it is growing at the base of several of my roses. Poison ivy? Thank you!

I think these look like maple tree or boxelder seedlings. Do you have maple trees?

Leaves of three , let it be. So, no.

PI has hairy stems that they use to climb up trees and other structures.

Yes-there is a maple tree nearby! The descriptions I have read of poison ivy state the middle leaf is symmetrical and the outer leaves look like mittens, which applies to these...they aren't vining or climbing up the plants. Is there a more appropriate forum that I should post this inquiry? Thank you!

Looks like Poison ivy to me, but I've been wrong before. Go to Google Images and search on Poison ivy. Then compare the two, sure looks the same to me.

If you brush up against it while out in the garden take the time to rub some dry dirt over the area. It will help soak up the oil that gets on your skin.

Definitely poison ivy. (Though not all PI has "mittens.")

Thanks...i thought so. We suited up and pulled it last year, and neither of us had any rash when were done-hubby is very allergic to this stuff-so made us think maybe it was something else! Ahhh....off to wage weed war...

Your best bet would be to hit it with a spray of vine killer. Otherwise it will keep coming back.
