How to get rid of wild roses that are in my flower bed?
I asked this question before but can't find it. This wild rose has gotten into all my flower beds and I have to get rid of it without killing my flowers that are in the same bed. It's also gotten into my lawn which shouldn't really be a problem when grass is being cut or will it?

Wild roses, snow on the moutain and lilly of the valley are all tough to get rid of. I watch for first emergence and dig them out, root and all. Most roots go down a couple feet.
My suggestion to you is to pot the plants you want to keep and start digging in April. Do not replant your plants until all the root system is gone. I had one that went under a sidewalk! Best of luck!
cut each plant off & spray each plant when new growth begins to grow. Use Round-Up, buy concentrate and mix yourself get good 1-2 gallon sprayer hand pump not a back pack style they can leak on your back(yikes), spray stream not mist setting while holding nozzle down directly onto new leaves/growth.Round-Up works by being absorbed into leaves into plant then into root systems killing plant.Continue spraying everytime you see new plant/leaves sprouting,don't let plant get too big spray while still more compact after cutting off. Don't get any over spray on plants you do not want to kill,spray when there is NO breeze no wind,do not walk in wet spray,mix it where you can rinse/dilute anything you spill,wear gloves. yes it's hazardous so is plastic(emmisions from manufacturing & trash that never decomposes) and paint etc.,just follow safety precautions. Some plants that you want gone can only be removed with either completely digging up every spec of the root system(not always feasible) or using a Glysophate. Spray pieces growing in lawn too the more you mow it the more it will continue to grow even underground you are basically just pruning it.don't let kids, pets, yourself get in/on wet spray in grass when it's dry it's ok
I had to get rid of brambles in a hedge, without killing the hedge of course. I first tried cutting the stems to the ground, but they grew back even more. So, because I couldn't spray them, I simply painted them with un concentrated round-up. I poured round-up in a bocal and first dipped all the top ends of the brambles in it. Then painted the bigger leaves underneath. It is time consuming but I won. After the first year their were a lot less and the second all gone.
Another way is to cut off the plant close to the ground and use a small brush to paint it on the raw cut. Each time a new sprout comes off the stem, break it off and paint the raw spot and Nick the cut top up and paint it again too. That decreases the length so that it will absorb to the roots quicker. I did that to a huge wild grapevine, it took almost a year, but it has been gone for three years now. Round up also has a premix that comes with the ability to use spray or foam to apply it, I have had great success with targeting what I want to kill with the foam since you can get real close to it and not get any residual flying in the breeze. The big scare with Round up is with people who used it daily in their work, but did not take precautions to keep it from getting on them.
