Need to remove grass from underneath Rose Bush

[Green]

So, some grass has been growing in the center of a rose bush, and I'm not sure the best way to remove it. It's starting to look like a meadow...

Use your booger hooks to yank it, then put enough mulch around the base (maybe a few larger pieces even) it will prevent it from growing up again without squelching your rose. You probably have to plant roses a little deeper anyways in CT than we do here.

Other than wearing leather gloves...any advice not to get injured?
I actually bought some Kevlar reinforced gloves a while back, and the thorns just go right through the spaces between the weave! The leather is better. Are there special rose gloves?

Yank the grass, not the rose.

Or you could try Fluazifop-P-Butyl.
