I will be pruning about 80 roses shortly - some of which have perennial
weeds at their base which are hard to get to. My best shot is to get at
the weeds just after I have pruned them. What can I use on the weeds
that will not harm the roses or the rose roots. My garden is chemical
free so I don't mind using a small amount of chemicals for this
particular task. Thanks in advance. Randy

If it were me, I'd stay away from any chemicals at all. Pull up the weeds,
getting as much of the root as possible, then mulch well. I use layers of
newspaper under my mulch to act as a weed barrier, though some disagee with
this approach.
