Is this Kudzu growing in house down the road? Took the picture earlier this year. It's lost its leaves now.

Looks like Rosa rugosa to me, they do take over if allowed, I have the same here.

Thanks. I noticed the difference in flowers. Just could not tell if the rose was actually the entire bush or just growing through it.

To satisfy yourself go and have a look whether all the stems are prickly. There will be a marked difference between stiff rose stems and twining vine stems.

Looks more like a shrub rose to me. Put Kudzu flowers images into Google and you'll see the difference.
