in my rose bushes, along with creeping myrtle. I will never forgive the person who gave me that mint when I first started gardening years and years ago. All I can do is keep it pulled away from the desirable plants and ignore it elsewhere.

I guess that if you are free to take the roses, you are the one who cares the most about those bushes....the owners don't seem to bother. This is your payment for the use of the flowers, I suppose. Don't let it get so out of hand next year is all I can say.

If the vine looks like morning glory, it's probably choke weed - and that shit's nasty. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #6
