"I am tearing out some roses of Sharon that I got from the swap a few years ago. Turns out they're a stronger adversary than I imagined. I have three decent sized ones. The moms (there are three intertwined) will likely go to the garbage unless i can somehow salvage them to bring."

RolRod, I've never grown a Rose of Sharon but was considering one for my back yard. I know nothing about them other than appearance, and that a friend has one ("Blue Satin") that seems to have a very long blooming time. Are you saying that they are overly prolific? Weedy? or heavy seeders? If something is going to be a problem later I will reconsider getting one for this space. Thanks.
