The enemy

Scarab beetle aka Japanese beetle attacking my rose bush. Picking them off and putting them in a bucket of water and dish washing detergent.

Your poor roses! Try spraying your roses with a mild dish detergent like Ivory liquid. Should not hurt the rose but the bugs don't like it. I got rid of those suckers on my prickly pear with three good dousing. A few drops in a spray bottle with warm water.

They are sure among the worst known pests! That soapy water does work

Love the new growth. Sounds like a good place for the beetles.
