You can then glyphosate anything that escapes or reshoots.

The brambles we have here definitely do regrow from their roots, as I
know of a number of places in this garden where I have repeatedly
tried to dig them out. Perhaps you mean from broken pieces of root?

While I agree brambles are shallow rooted, sometimes they manage to
root in places where it is not possible to get a fork under them to
get them out properly.
