While broad-leaf weed killer would work, I don't like it and don't recommend it. Weeding would obviously work, but I suspect you are looking for a better way. Is mowing on a regular basis an option? They won't survive that for too long; it kills even the toughies...

Not too low; that's not a very friendly for the lawn this time of year. Regular mowing kills almost everything but grasses and hibiscus syriacus is no exception. Even bittersweet gives up against regular mowing.
Just a quick note; the National Arboretum selections of Rose of Sharon (easily I.d.'d by their names from Greek mythology, I.e., Minerva, Aphrodite, Diana) are sterile hybrids and won't throw seed.
