Yep, I know what you mean! I did some silly things like that when I was young too. I wish the rose bush was not quite so big. I like it because it provides a visual barrier to the yard next door, but I (stupidly) planted it too close to the chain link fence behind it, so I have to keep close watch on it or it will grow through the holes in the fence. We have great neighbors, and they've never said a word, but they have a five year old girl and I don't want her to ever get stuck by the thorny rose branches.

Janet, antique roses are pretty common, and they are very bug resistant and very easy to grow. You should find a couple and plant them - they grow very quickly
