Default Killing or Controlling Rose of Sharon??

Trim them right after flowering and before they go to seed. I still get some
seedlings but they are easily hand pulled... My neighbor doesn't trim theirs
and they have tons of varying sized ROS shrubs growing all over the place. My
ROS are nice, compact and filled in well, they bloom incredibly as well.

One could also select any of the many sterile Rose of Sharon cultivars to
avoid self-seeding.
