Great Grandma Gay's Roses

In 2007 for a house warming, my sister Connie gave me a starter Rose from the rose bush that was on my Great Grandma Gay's Farm. I did not know much about flowers then, but thought I would at least try to make it grow. Turns out I have great soil, and found out I love my flower beds. The one next to the garage is the one she gave me, since then I have divided it 7 more times. I have one in the back flower bed, and this spring I had two more starters, so I put them behind the garage. I now have a total of four in my yard. The other 4.... I gave to friends...they are beautiful, but do get out of control..I cut it back sometimes, but I think it only helps it...what do you think
