You need a grub axe, grub hoe or mattock. Something like this

or this http://tinyurl.com/p75jq8n . A few quick swings and the roots
of shrubs of the size you describe are soon removed.

Thanks, that sounds like a possibility.

+1 for a mattock
Mine was purchased from toolsatan

As the description says: "Horizontal chisel end for grubbing, vertical
chisel end for chopping."

I've had mine for a couple of years but its something I wish I'd known
about decades ago. It will still be hard work but a LOT easier than any
other man effort method I've tried for getting medium size shrubs out of
the ground.

You will find it easier if you sharpen the business end of the blade.
