How to treat these weeds in the flower bed?

Need suggestion of experts regarding how I can treat these weeds with a yellow flower, in my flower bed in back garden.

During my early morning and evening walk I see them outside in a lot of neighboring gardens
Also please can someone tell me which weeds are they?
I tried pulling them out by hand but unfortunately unable to full them fully from the roots ( 1/4 of the weed from the bottom is still in the ground)
I have got  Rosate 360 TF in my garage, Can I use this?
Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    They are daffodils NOT weeds.

    The ones with flowers, longer leaves and a slight bluish tinge are daffodils - you need to dig the bulbs out if you don't want them there. Or just pull the leaves off and you won't see them until next year.  But your photo also shows a different plant, with shorter a slightly yellower leaves which I wonder if it is a bluebell which flowers later?  Same thing there.

    I cannot believe that you do not recognize daffodils if you have lived in the UK for more than 12 months. Most people welcome them as one of the first spring flowering bulbs.  I do not know what you expect to grow in a flower bed except flowers, If you seriously wish to get rid of them then dig the whole bulbs up and place in front of your house with a sign saying FREE.

    Assuming that this thread is not a wind-up...    The simple answer is, yes, Roseate 360 TF would kill these.  It would also kill the grass in your flower bed and the ground elder that you also seem to have there.  If you get spray drift, it will also kill your lawn and your hedge.

    However your question "Can I use this?" is not so simple to answer.  Roseate 360TF is labelled "For use only as a professional herbicide" and if you are seeking plant identification for daffodils and in doubt about what your Roseate 360TF can be used for, then it may be that you are not a professional in one of the industries that might usually make use of herbicides.

    I would leave them - they are not invasive, they die back soon and do no harm to other plants.  It doesn't look like you're growing anything else there anyway. 
    If you find them - for some inexplicable reason! - that offensive you could just dig them up.  At the base of the leaves there will be a bulb underground.

    Why use  chemicals, if you don't like them then dig them up.

    Sorry for any confusion as I  was reviously living in a property without any garden
    We are not originally from UK, so its also very strange for me that I have heard a lot about the Daffodils but never seen them and at last now have seen Daffodils :)

    Strangely we have not planted any , also  last year they were not in the flower bed and this part of the year they are,  so i thought they are the weeds. :'(
    As mentioned  when during the walk I saw these yellow colored flowers on the sides of the vacant properties , I thought that they are the weeds with the Yellow flower,
    If they are not harmful, and are not harming me I will leave them as it is.

    Regarding ROSATE 360, I asked opinion to use it or not? As suggested and also as I am not a professional I will not use it, due to  disadvantages are more as compared to the advantages.
    Thanks for all the help.
  • Sometimes if there has been a lot of growth over the top of the ground, they don't emerge.  We drastically trimmed a hedge back a few years ago, and the next spring there were lots of daffodils at the bottom of the hedge.
    Also we have found the squirrels like to dig up bulbs and relocate them!  I think you also have bluebells there, the shorter leaves without flowers - someone above mentioned it too.  There are two main types - Spanish and English.  Google them, they are pretty, also worth keeping.
