Yeah - it does seem to have really liked the wet and mild winter I think - loads of hedgerows round here absolutely covered in it.
Might stick some stakes in to train it - had heard that suggested.
Just such a pain when it tangles itself in the roses. There is a clematis in there somewhere too and it just entwined itself in that so much that we ended pulling a load of it out with it

Tackling it in bite sized pieces rather than epics seshes helps. But this year I think it's tough.
One common suggestion is to put stakes in and for them to grow on to make it easier to identify and pull.
Another option if you have a patch is to put weed killer in a 2l coke bottle and feed loads into it. That way you don't risk your surrounding plants as it's inevitably bound up in them.
