Pest on my roses

[caseylee]

I have noticed today that all the branches of my rose bush are full of aphids.  How can I get rid of them please.

I squish them all with my fingers........I am strange like that but it does work,depends how many you have I guess :)

I'm a squishing advocate too....
spent over half an hour on the solomon's seal today....  ;D

As above, squash them

Use a hose to produce a forceful water spray to knock them off the branches and leaves (they wont make it back up from the ground)

Spray with a washing up liquid solution

Buy or otherwise acquire Ladybirds

Spray with an insecticide like Rose Clear
