Rose dilemma

I'm not sure what to do with this rose. It's called a smooth rose (rosa blanda). The flowers are lightly fragrant, looking delicate but proving surprisingly sturdy.

Here's a close up. The bees like them. The plant is healthy and lush. Those are the pros. These are the cons. You can see from the photo below that the blooming is staggered, which is good for the bees, but no "wow" factor. And, depending on rain and heat, the flowers don't last too long, less than two weeks this year. True, it's a native plant, so the expectations should be different. However, little suckers are coming up through the lawn, especially next to the electric box. When I planted it, the information said it wouldn't spread like this. But maybe it likes its spot. Or the information was wrong. The rose is no longer "smooth," but painfully thorny, making it tough to weed and mow around. The shape is uneven with some tall parts and short parts but no pleasing shape. But I can't bring myself to dig it up! Thus my dilemma. I need some time to think...
