I've had big problems with these which annually kill any Heucheras or Tiarellas in the ground and sometimes those in pots.
Things never touched (or unscathed): Tellima, Geranium (hardy), Hellebores, Fuchsia (the gall mite got those instead), Hemerocallis, Epimedium, Sarcococca, Nandina, roses, Euonymus, Agapanthus, etc.
I too have had problems with vine weevils, especially on potted lilies, pelargoniums and primulas/polyanthus. So, as a precautionary measure, I repotted all my roses. Glad to say that I didn't find any, even though the pots were all located nearby.

Have you tried the nematodes for getting rid of vine weevils? I tried them for the first time in my pots last year as they normally cause havoc and every time I dug in there I found loads of the blighters, and they killed primroses, the lot - within a few weeks of treatment I checked again, found one shrivelled weevil and thats IT - they wiped out the lot! Not a single plant lost to them last year. Highly recommended!!
The problem with nematodes is that you need the ground temps to be suitable. When it's too cold they don't survive, but the weevils do, unfortunately. Fine in warmer areas, but no use here.

@Klink I started using 2/3rds soil taken from the garden mixed with 1/3rd compost to use as a medium for potting heucheras and have had very little trouble with VW since. I grow lots of heucheras and the ones in the ground were never affected, so thought it was worth a try. Soil naturally contains lots of nematodes and it looks like some of the ones in my garden soil do the same job as the commercials ones. This has to be worth a try and you can't really get any more environmentally friendly.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
