Advise needed for wild grape vine

| Last year I planted a wild grape vine in my partial sun flower bed thinking it was a passion flower. (Mea Culpa) It is growing so well Im not sure whether or not to take it out. Can I train it into a shape? I have a climbing rose trained over an arbor as an entry feature to the back garden. Will roses and grapes exist together? I could move it I guess. Even if I lose it I've got zero dollars invested. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

| PULL IT OUT!! Wild grapes will take over eveything given half a chance. Do your rose a favor! If you're determined to have a wild grape, find a nice neglected hedgerow and put it there. :-) |

| That's what my gut has been telling me since it came up with such a vengance. Thanks |

| Get rid of it. These vines started showing up around here a few years back all on their own. At first they kind of looked nice, draping over my backyard sheds and fence. But the problem is in the winter the foliage falls off an they look awful and they take over everything. In addition they have a tendancy, at least with me, to cause itching if I mess around with them too much, which is exactly what I'm doing now as I'm trying to cut them back and get rid of them. |

| Never heard of grapevines causing itching but grape seed extract is sometimes used to LESSEN allergy symptoms and HELP with some skin problems. |

| If you know someone who likes to do crafts and make wreaths out of the grapevines, you can just sit back and watch them cut out the vines for you :) |
