Some times the roots will sprout new growth so you have to keep an eye
open for new growth. Since these are water loving shrubs, consider
cutting off the water supply for several weeks. Then moisten the soil
and cut away (it is easier to remove the plant from moistened soil).

I'm beginning to feel sorry for this Hydrangea! Can't it be cut back but
allowed to live? ;-)
