Vines strangling rose bushes! [View all]

OMG, among my favorite rose bushes of my neighbors. Have 3 neighbors from whose rose bushes I clip/harvest, with permission. 5 out of 6 bushes are being strangled by VINES! One is an unknown vine, MIGHT have been thought of as desirable ground cover; doesn't appear to be 'weed,' the other is MINT!

Just spent about an hour ripping and clipping the mint (I smell great now!) Last week, spent an hour ripping and clipping the unknown ground cover, and those 2 bushes are looking MUCH better now; one which had NO leaves is now growing NEW leaves, and harvested/clipped 5 flowers last couple days from the other bush. Fingers crossed for the mint-house roses!
