Perfect timing for this forum. I planted a 'climbing' rose a few years ago. (I can't remember the name.) It became a complete monster and had the most lethal thorns I think I've ever encountered. It grabbed everyone who walked by. Anyhow, it got to the point where I couldn't tell a sucker from a cane and I chopped it to the ground a month or two ago. It's coming back - and each day getting taller. How can I tame this thing? Is it possible to keep it trimmed to shrub height and still have it bloom? I'll try to post a photo later.
