How do i get rid of Blackeyed Susans?

OMG, I have Blackeyed Susans coming out of the wazoo. I love them, they are beautiful and the MD State flower but.....they are taking over my flower bed. I have a rose bush that is being totaly destroyed. I don't want to kill them but I have to do something. I can transplant them but I'm worried they will come back in the same spot. Can anyone help me?

You can pull them out of the soil, dig them out or use RoundUp. They will not return. Your problem is due to the fact that they spread via seed. Dead head (cut-off) the spent blooms and you will not have these problems in the future with your Blackeyed Susans.

Reply:You have to pull them out of ground, and make sure you get their roots. I,ve had a few reappear, but easily removed them. You can replant some in another spot, just make sure it,s not where other plants are,as you know they tend to take over a area.
Reply:i agree with well lit garden or you could send me some. thanks.
