Organic - squish, run thumb and forefinger along stem, messy but works! Spray with chemical. Hose off with hose (?), spray with diluted fairy liquid solution, import ladybirds and/or their larva, lastly waggle finger in menacing manner and shout alot!!! Good luck. Lottie ;D ;D ;D

Do you have trees or hedges around? I just leave them till the blue tits find them.

Waggi - there was a thread on one of the boards here about companion planting, only a couple of days ago but cant find it at the moment. If you do a search for companion planting, I'm sure you'll find it and I remember something in there about what to plant near roses to help with greenfly.
