Bindweed

Dear NG,
Last year I cut back a shrub with a mature diameter of 10 feet right down
to the core! It was infested with bindweed and had outgrown its site. It
is now a happy healthy stump but the bindweed is rearing its ugly head
again! What is a good weedkiller that will kill bindweed, not the shrub
and not the grass (the latter not too much of a prob as there is no grass
growing in 5ft radius)?
Went into my local DIY/Garden Centre and failed to be convinced by what I
read off the labels.
I would appreciate the benefit of your experience.
My opinion is that it isn't ugly, if it were a rare plant we'd all want it.
My experience is that when we moved here forty odd years ago the fence on
one side of the garden was covered with bindweed. I pulled it up manually
for about two years and it stopped growing.
