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!

Great tool

Really slices through small roots. Works like a shovel. You can pick up a substantial amount of soil in spite of the notch.

Great

After reading reviews I was a little concerned about the weight. The item does have some weight to it, but is sturdy. As its for digging & chopping out roots it does need to be good quality with some weight to it. Only used twice so far & it's great. Cuts through general roots really well. You obviously have to put some effort in to cutting thicker roots. Works really well. Value for money, will get more items from this range.
