Yard needs love

Hello,

We just moved into a place that hasn’t had great yard care for some years. I have a few questions:

The handyman for our landlady cut back a large rogue hazelnut bush that was growing up through one of the shrubs near the house. Will using Bonide’s Stump Out (landlady’s suggestion) get rid of it? We don’t want it to grow back.

Similarly, we just removed most of what looked like a forsythia from the middle of a large camelia. There are stumps left, seemingly impossible to dig out since they are smack in the center. Can we use the Stump Out for it without hurting the camelia? Will it even work?

Lastly, (I’ve probably reached my quota, there is a giant rhody in front of the front porch. About 12′ high, maybe 8′ in width, and depth. We’ve cut some back where it encroached on the porch and steps. What’s the best way to prune it back?
Thank you.
