No question - Roundup or glyphosate will kill the multiflora roses. Thinking about it - I could have gotten rid of the big old bush with the grapple. Just clamp down and pull out the roots. But that would have left an almighty hole to fill and I would have to do something with all the "bush". Using the riding mower - no hole to deal with and the bush got chewed to small chips.

For dispersed clumps of Multflora Rose I dig them out with a Bucket Spade.

When clearing land I comb them out with a Field Cultivator.

Google search "controlling multifora rose". You'll get alot of information.

Herbicide is the most effective method.

Pulling plants out is effective, only if all the roots are removed. New plants will regenerate if any root pieces are left behind.

Spray with a brush killer, so that the grass isn't killed. When the bush is dry and crispy, back over it with the brush hog.
