I need to dig out the roots of an old climber rose bush, Will this shovel do the job?

This shovel is excellent for digging in extremely hard ground, heavier than most with a wide flange on the top which makes it better to cut through the surface roots and compacted earth. Like any tool sometimes it takes a lot of extra effort, soaking the ground before starting will help. In my case I had too many very fine, hard roots down several inches even this shovel was not a good match for the job, I used a hatchet and limb cutter to get down initially then the shovel was great to keep going. I recommend the Root Slayer and would purchase another if needed.

which shovel should I use for cutting through bamboo roots?

Allan, Thank you for your question. The shovel you are considering is perfect for bamboo removal. Please remember these are designed for cutting, using for prying could damage the handle or blade. Radius Garden/American Lawn Mower Company

Will this still do the job of a regular shaped Round Digger Shovel? for example digging holes for trees/plants?

It would do some limited digging similar to the rounded shovel. However it is not designed for that. Save a lot of effort and just there is a good one on Amazon for 17 bucks.

Well this cut through large hostas to split and replant

It should! It is very heavy duty! I have cut through tree roots with mine!

Dug me out of a hole

Great spade. Amazing at cutting through tough and root filled earth. I was sceptical, but it’s well worth the money and has made my landscape project much easier.

Mon meilleur achat pour le jardin

J'ai planté 90 arbustes comprenant des arbres etc... Mon sol est plein de racines et cet outil c'est de la folie. Elle est arrondie donc très facile de faire des ronds pour planter ensuite. On peut creuser et planter en 5 minutes un arbuste... elle découpe les racines très facilement. Solide, poignée pratique . Bref l'outil incontournable pour celui qui veut planter ou transplanter petit arbre , arbustes et plantes !
