Since as I understand it, the plants energy would be going into growing
roots at this time of year rather than growing leaves and culms? Thanks
for any further advice.

At this time of year, any energy it uses pushing up culms is wasted energy. So if they are new shoots, (ie without leaves) let them carry on growing and then cut them down before they put leaves out in spring. If they are small but mature culms, ie with leaves, then just cut them down now - don't let them photosynthesize. I don't think applying glyphosate at this time of year is going to be very effective.
