What can I use to kill it in my flower beds without harming the plants and roses. Is it like nut grass you should just move.

that is some tuff stuff for sure, especially for how shallow the roots are on it. It will die off when the heat comes later though.
you should be able to pull it up easily

You're right. I probably will just let the heat kill it and then till it up. I don't want to take a chance hurting the roses. My wife would kill me.

It's easy to keep out of flower beds. Just put Treflan out in the early fall/late summer. Sounds like you probably need a thicker base of mulch too. I was using pine straw and had to put Treflan out in the fall to keep it out. I put 3-4" of pine bark in my beds last year and have no poa annua this year.

You can probably spray it with Poast, but check the label to make sure it will kill it and not damage your shrubs. It won't damage most broadleafs.

Don't do that. FYI, one poa annua clump will produce something short of 245,302,430,232,232,535,354,343,322,000 seeds.

Put on a latex glove and put a cotton one over it. Wet the cotton glove with straight roundup, then wipe the cotton glove on the undesirable plants in the bed.

I took tomorrow off to get this yard work done. I will try y'alls suggestions and many thanks for the help.

The yard and rose beds that I am taking care of was my fatherinlaws. He past away a few months ago and with his bad health he was unable to mantain the place and to tight to spend any money for a professional lawn service. My yard doesn't have a weed in it and I want to get this one looking as good as it does. I should have done a better job helping him last year but he wouldn't listen to me seeing how he was a farmer for many years after WWll.

Treflan does not have a turf or ornamental label, that I am aware of. As such, it is illegal to apply it in your beds. Plus, it needs to be incorporated immediately or it will volatilize. With that said, there may be some type of weed and feed product that contains it I don't know about.

For preemergence, apply Surflan to your beds in late August/early Sept, depending on how hot it is. This will need to be watered in or get rainfall within a few days. I try to time it around a rain when I put it out. Poa will start germinating when nights begin cooling off. Poast will not touch it. The latex glove idea will work well.

There really are few good, affordable options for controlling it POST. At least that I will recommend on a public forum.

Simazine (Princep*)
Simazine has both preemergence activity and postemergence activity on young seedling Poa.
It won’t be effective on mature Poa in March. The recommended rate is 1.0 qt prod/A.
Simazine must be watered in and applied October 1. Simazine will “yellow” bermudagrass
temporarily. It is not to be used on golf course greens.

Simazine works good, but you need an agitator in the tank or it settles really bad, or at least it did the time I used it. Dang near killed my bermuda yard where the first two bands of spray were.

The bermuda will always bounce back from Simazine. We always put down a Qt a week after sprigging.
You know that when it takes 5 qts./Acre of Roundup to kill it, it has to have a tough root system.

I would assume granular is more feasible for you than a sprayable product. Applied early fall.

contains "surflan" as 007 mentioned.
