Wow, thanks for the quick reply! I went to look at my (not perfect) records and it looks like they have been there since 2005 or 2006 depending on which one I'm talking about.

So with Ramona, which was 2005, should I let it bloom then cut it down to 2 feet or so? It never really completely quits blooming, if I recall correctly. The picture below is on 07-05-09. Will it grow back and bloom again?

Is it too late to get new stems to come from the roots since they've been in the ground since 2005 or 2006?

Thank you so much for your help!
