I've used RoundUp at our church up north for the last ten years to keep a long row of anemone and shrub roses weed free. It has never harmed the plants as long as I don't get it on them. Even if I get part of a plant due to wind or some other mishap, it has injured but not killed the plant.

Down here I used it to keep the zoysia out of the landscape bed back when we still had the pine straw.

Why not do one more round of that and then start anew pulling them as they emerge if you're tired of spraying?
