I want to get rid of it without effecting the bushes it is in?

It is very vigorous, and rather like a bramble can smother other plants. You will only be able to get rid of it by extreme action. cutting back merely encourages it!

So cut back to the ground and then soak the stump with a solution of SBK brushwood killer.
