    dig up the rose bushes and use round up on the mint, I should think. Otherwise it'd be digging the mint out & those roots go for miles!!!

    They criticise the previous previous owners, but they bought the place, and in any case its nothing that £20 worth of Round-Up Concentrate wont sort.

    The profound ignorance that many members of the public have about fairly basic gardening matters never ceases to amaze me!

    I think they are suffering from irrational rose paranoia and should have counselling.
