Reluctantly I used Round-Up (tfui!) on an small area where nasty weeds

I want to put something else in there, but am not too experienced with
Round-Up.

How long should I wait, for safety's sake, before transplanting a
shrub in that area?

TIA

You can safely overplant immediately. But it might be better to wait
until the weeds are showing some distress before you disturb them, to
make sure the RU has made its way into the roots.

Beyond that, does the label on the Roundup address that issue? I would
think it would.
