Aphid army on my roses

Now what to do….
Put out a call for ladybirds maybe.

I think soap and water does the trick, but I may be wrong!

You might have some ladybird lavae in the garden, they'll eat them all for you

Wonderful macro

[Ingrid]

Super clear photo.
Yes, call the ladybirds, but if they do not answer rinsing of with luke warm water and some soap might help too.

Absolutely amazing close-up With incredible detail of those little bugs! FAV

[Granny7(Denise)]

Love this capture

[Diana]

Oh I do hate these! Fabulous detailed shot of them though.

[Liz Gooster]

Fantastic close up. Sorry about the aphid infestation though.

[Nigel Rogers]

Superb close up of the little devils

[Bill]

Excellent picture.

[FBailey]

What a shame but good photo

[Carole Sandford]

Fantastic macro! I thought they were part of the plant at first!

[Mags]

Great shot! Dawn dishwashing detergent in a spray bottle! Spray them heavily. Won't hurt the roses, but the bugs don't like it.

[Kathy]

Oh dear. Sorry to see this.

[Steve Chappell]

Nice closeup but yucky bugs, good luck getting rid of them

[Babs]

Crikey, maybe even need a flamethrower.

[Lis Lapthorn]

They are a real pain. I know.

[Mary Siegle]

As others have said, great shot with fantastic detail, but no fun having the aphids. Take the advice given above (except flamethrower 🤣). I have no advice to give as I'm a rotten gardener.

I have used soapy water in the past so will probably try that again although I have found some organic spray which suppose to be bee friendly!!
