After an epic battle that has left me exhausted and somewhat bloodied I declare victory in my personal War of the Roses. I have had a few climbing roses that have teamed up with the kikuyu to grow up through some established bushes and trees, making it extremely difficult to get to them to pull them out. The roses are extra thorny and catch on everything, and the kikuyu works like anchoring ropes tangling everything in further. I have now reduced the prickly bastards to a large pile and have access to where it has been cut off so I can poison any regrowth.
