Ah, ok I'll bear that in mind. So I'm guessing then that if I dig it up to plant my rose there, it'll probably spring up again around the rose? I'm not sure if I should try it anyway or if this is a recipe for disaster. What would people recommend? Sorry for yet another question!
Wonderful. Thank you all. I might give it a go at moving it to make space for the rose and then just keep a really good eye on it. Watch this space for the post asking how to rid a garden of crazily overgrown houttunia!

It's a bit invasive but quite pretty
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thank you for the replies.
Would it be content to be moved to another spot? The space its in is pretty sparsely populated so I wad considering using this spot for my rose bush.
It's the sort of plant you can move and then you've got it in 2 places. It can be quite hard to get rid of

Ask as many questions as you like Lottie
I'm fairly tolerant of invasive plants as I have a large garden. It's quite pretty, it depends how much you like it.
I can guarantee that several people will tell you to get rid of it and they may well have the right idea.

I keep it for the smell. If you crush the leaves it is like bitter oranges. It also likes damp areas so I have it next to the pond in the boggy bit.
