Hi, Guys,
What do you all use on the briar bramble vines that have those tiny little sharp, rose thorns on "em and stick you even through heavy gloves? They're just a tangled mess of thorny vines, sorta reddish in color with green leaves. Mine grow in a bed that has two Sagos, a crepe myrtle tree and two little boxwood puffs. There's lots of empty space in the bed for the brambles to grow. Can I smother them out with something else, or will I end up with them growing through anything I plant on the ground to fill it in?

If I spray them, I'm afraid I'll hurt my Sagos and the Crepe Myrtle tree.

HELP!!!

Thanks!
