Early Rose..

While visiting my Aunt in her rest home today I saw this lovely rose.. I think the first roses and the last roses always are the better colours and this one was very pretty.. It was not until I uploaded this photo that I noticed that it was alive with aphids.. I hope they get spayed with some Garlic oil before they spoil the plant..

Such a pretty colour. Better tell Aunty Agnes so she can deal with the aphids!

@dide The old school way of dealing with it was to throw wash water over the plant..
