Killer Vine

Hi, I'm new here and new to gardening but i have a major problem that i hope someone on here can help me recitfy
The problem is a vine that i cannot get rid of, it keeps sprouting every year trying to kill my lovely plants. Here is a photo



I have tried digging up the roots and clearing the lot but then a couple days later its sprouted in loads of different other places, so again i dig it up trying to get the roots but i seem to be losing the battle
It wraps itself around a bamboo i have dragging it to the ground, also a lemon balm, a couple of rose bushes and anything it can reach.
If anyone knows what vine this is or how i can get rid of it i will be forever thankful

We had a lot in the garden when we move in. Constant pulling, and digging it up is the key. Each little bit of root left in the ground can produce a new plant. We hav it under control now, with much smaller and weeker plants.

Roundup works well on it where you can avoid getting it on other plants.

 

hi thanks for the quick replies, at least i know what i'm dealing with now, shall have a good read up on it and try and get to the root of the problem (no pun intended)
