Hello,
Been digging in a garden about 18" down and found some long pencil thick
roots running horizontally.. I broke one and its orange/yellow in
colour.

Anyone have any ideas what these roots could be ?
The only plants/shrubs in the vicinity are about 5 ft away. These are
paeony, lupins,rhododendrons and rhubarb.

Not bindweed. They are white. The yellow roots that I know are nettles
and mulberry.

And Berberis (any) and I'm not sure, but possibly snowberry.
