Prune down to ground level all the stems you can find. then any new growth paint with glyphospate weedkiller. repeat the weedkiller every 2 weeks.
if there are any stems that have rooted then dig them out if you can. it will need plenty of elbow grease I am afraid.

thanks seaburngirl,but digging out is a problem wheelchair bound.

ah I see your problem Halfpint. Continued weedkiller on young fresh growth will work especially august/september as the plant starts to go dormant for the winter.
