Recommendation: This a fairly common occurrence. While I am surprised that Roundup did not work, I would suggest any product containing 2,4-D ester and dicamba. The Ortho line carries several that should work. Follow the instructions for general broadleaf weed control spot treatments. Spray to wet but not dripping off the plant.
