Rose bushes and glyphosphate

If rose bushes are pruned back to wood and allowed to seal, would they be unaffected by glyphosphate?

My mother has a number of beds containing old rose bushes that are surrounded by brambles and horsetails and it would be far easier to deal with if we could simply blanket spray the whole area several times.

 

Hi Notrub, I wonder whether the solution would be to prune, bag up the roses in heavy-duty bin bags, then spray? Once the glypho is dry, there shouldn't be any ill effects to the roses. You're right in thinking that you'll need to spray more than once, but subsequent re-growth could be dealt with by spraying into a cut-off plant pot placed around the weed.

 

Given you have both bramble and horsetail in with the roses I would be tempted to lift the roses this winter, plant into a clean area and then next spring clean out the weeds and replant the roses when you are sure the area is clear of the problem.

 

Such a mix.
Firstly may I suggest members check-out Glyphoste on wikipedia. It will save me loads of typing. Fair do's , and I respect members comments.

Might I ask. Roses, brambles and marestail. To what areas, quantaties are we talking about. Please be fair. The original post could have been. I have three rose bushes, HT's. they are growing in aptch surrounde by brambles, etc. Using glyphosate what might the problems be.?

To me. I would ask myself. Do I take, perhaps the easy way out and spray or do I dig out the brambles etc.

As a rosarian. I'm sure that my Hon. Friend. Wise Owl will agree. Roses are strong and hardy but. They do not respond to being root disturbed. So. The idea of lifting, washing etc is a NO GO. If there is a love etc for the roses. Then concentrate on the invaders.
Brambles can be cut down to soil level and the dug out. In all cases, if top growth is heavy and mature. Get rid of this first. Cut down, dig out. Then as new growth may appear. Selectively treat. Honestly. all this. Dig up etc the roses. Guys. What the bazes are you thinking. Science, common sense!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? hells bells.
