I have a gallica rose like that. When I first got here it was stuck in the lawn so I moved all the roses near the well established ornamental trees and pulled sod for three years to make a rose garden which became a rose and daylily and beardless iris garden naturally. Anyway my gallica rose would not behave itself. It was so happy to be out of the grass and in all that nice loose soil that it sent runners across the garden. Needless to say, it ended up back in the grass as a large bush that gets it's runners mowed. My burning bushes are the ones I have to watch for seedlings since they want to be a wall of shrubs. I crawl under and remove seedlings from 2 of them every spring. But they are sure pretty this season. See bottom left pic with aster in Post #420667.
