Old weedkiller

I’ve had a good sort out today of my gardening bits.  I found a few old weedkiller sprays and some rose spray.  I think they are 2-3 years old.  Does anyone know if they are likely to be viable or should I dispose of them (very carefully :)) and buy new ones

    Personally if it something you normally use, then I would just use it. It might not be quite as effective but worth a try you might not need to buy new.

    I don't have any products in my shed that are less than 15 years old??

    Thanks everyone for the helpful and the odd amusing comments.   :D 

    I’ll try the old stuff and hopefully it will work.  I hate throwing things away if they can still be used.
