Roundup - glyphosate really - will kill most any green leaf plant it contacts if you get it on strong enough. (Or into it's sap-flow.) It will not do a thing to the non-green stem or ground or seeds or roots - it must be applied to the green leaf part, and if it is a waxy leaf it needs something to break the wax a bit & soak in. It also binds up on clay particles or hard water particles - so soft water or a special additive is a must if you mix your own.
It will then translocate to the bottom of the root, and start killing the plant from the root up. So the plant may look good for a week even - but it is dying from the bottom up.

I've not used it, so use my advice on this one with great caution.........
