Ask:
I have 5 rose bushes and they all have aphids! all over the place! I used some bug spray on them- but it didn't work! in fact, I have more aphids now then before I used the spray!
Any suggestions?
Answer:
I use ivory liquid diluted with water and I wash the leaves ever so gently...
It does work, and it keeps the leaves looking glossy as well,I wouldn't recommened any
harsh dish liquid...
Answer:
Me too. I wash with soapy water.
Also control for ants. Ants 'farm' aphids so you probably have an ant problem, too.
