Third time!!

We need the bug spray out again, our roses have been sprayed twice before they were even open and now they are over run with greenfly yet again. This is one of the many blooms that are overrun with the pesky pests.
Better on black

Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.

Fabulous shot of this beautiful rose, I know the problem too well. One just has to get rid of these little pests.

Super macro! I love the colours.

A super close-up. The greenfly can provide a nice snack for the local birds, if you are lucky.

A super macro shot - these aphids can be such a nuisance and so persistent - good luck with the next spray !

A super macro shot. Mine have aphids, too

[KoalaGardens🐨]

see if you can get some natural predators in maybe? some other bugs would love to feast on these :)

poor roses. I probably won't have roses at this house. The care and upkeep (and this is a good illustration) are more than I want to put into gardening.

Beaitiful close up and insects capture.

Lovely rose, shame about the greenfly!

[Casablanca]

They are a pest, aren't they? Hope you defeat the little blighters!

Great close up and lovely colour.

OMG! I have sprayed mine twice already but wasn't quick enough. I noticed the aphids only after they had ruined many beautiful and healthy leaves on my roses. This beautiful rose does not seem to mind them though.
