I don't think there is such a thing as just two Rose of Sharons.
I have a lot of them here and getting rid of them where I don't want
them is not always successful. I have some intertwined in a rather large
border hedge, I trim it just like a hedge and the flowers go with it. I
don't consider it successful. In fact my favorite Rose of Sharon is one
that is in a patio and is more less untrimmed, I like it much better
than the trimmed rows of them.
