I agree with @CarolineL foliage is not right for B valdivana I have that in my garden. A couple of questions roughly how tall is the shrub and are there any spines on it?

New Gardener - help!
Another option is just to cut them as low as you need to, to get access to fix the fence - easier than digging them out, and they might resprout into something you really like.
