Bonica Rose Runs Amuck

Hi there=

I planted two bonica shrub roses side by side in my front yard. One is very well behaved while the other ... well- it is throwing out octopus arms and now it has shot out a root about 10 inches from the plant and it has grown a long cane and is blooming too. (Same little pink bonica rose)

What would cause these two roses to behave so differently?

Could I move the wild bonica rose and train it on a fence?

I mail ordered both of these roses but can't remember which company-I think it was in Oregon.

My mom grew this rose for years in her yard, (which is why I wanted one in my memory garden) but it was such a nice, small ever blooming shrub.

Thanks for any information-

Sue
