I know what you mean about aggressive.  I am not allowed to burn so I would cut it up in small pieces and put it in the garbage bag it eventually would rot.  

It does have a great fragrance and it was a good living fence to keep the neighborhood kids off the property.   


Do what you can where you are with what you have.

They are actually called rambling roses, or 7 sister roses. There are 7 or more blooms in a cluster, I have one thats red, and they can cover a 10 ft section of fence in one summer.

Raincat, are they full sun, sun and shade or shade? I have a native rose that is in totally the wrong climate in my garden but it's so prickly and established that I've just left it.
