Default Help!? Baby oak tree & rose bushes.. clueless

"Louise89" wrote

Hi, i hope i am posting this in the right place, this is my first ever
post.

I have some bushes that someone started to cut down for me.. (i am now
left with a huge pile of sharp, thorny garden waste which im attempting
to get rid of one green bin at a time...)

My problem is i have a 3 year old daughter and now am left with 2 rose
bushes, three other bushes (no idea!) and what im told is a very small
oak tree (about 2ft high, its like a little bush with oak leaves).

Theyve all been cut back as far as my rubbish gardening equipment would
allow, but now im left with them like that thanks to my friends help..
what can i do? Theyre literallly no leaves/flowers just sharp or thorny
branches!

Am i literally going to have to dig them out one by one to the root?
Today i applied some bush killer (similar to round ups bush killer i
think) but ive no idea how long ill wait, or if ill still need to dig
them all up?

Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated, i am a totaly newbie
to having a garden and really just want a little garden with some easy
flowers and a veg patch eventually when this is dealt with.


This askes more questions ......
Why were the bushes cut down so drastically?
What is the problem with your 3 year old daughter relevant to gardening?
Why are you killing the plants?
What do you want in their place?
