Re: swamp rose

Hmm...mine is located in the "wet" area of our yard, but the soil where it is planted has had several applications of wood chip mulch which has composted over the years. I wonder if my plant has avoided sending runners deeper because of the heavy clay soil it would have to push through if it did. Would explain why they are so easy to pull out, too.
Has yours bloomed yet this year? Mine is just setting buds, and I can't wait. The fragrance is heavenly.

Mine is on the edge of the pond and stream. The soil is a clay mix, native

What kind of soil is yours growing in? That may be the difference
between yours and mine.  As long as I get the runners within the first
year, they are quite easy to pull, but after that, its a different
story.
