The first warmth of spring will signal the start of aphid infestations.
Aphids are the most common of rose pests and are usually green, reddish or brown in color.They feed on the sap of the tender new growth at the tips of the canes causing growth and flowers to be stunted. A hard spray of water from the hose will knock them off and often they will not be able to return to the plant. You can also remove them with your fingers by stroking the tips with your thrumb and forefinger. Ladybugs love to dine on aphids and can devour hundreds in a short time. If the infestation is really bad then the plant can be weakened and an insecticide spray will be needed. Because they are soft-bodied, insecticidal soap is ususally sufficient.

| A simple rose can mean so much The pure beauty alone... Is in itself...a special gift.A simple rose is able to express all of those words that seem so awkward at times.Each petal is so unique... in it's own special way. Just as the moments we share... a simple rose can mean so much.Within the beauty of a simple rose many feelings are brought about. The closeness of caring... The thoughts of sharing... All shared with one simple rose.And then finally...a very special relationship is brought about. All with the giving of one simple rose.As the dew rolls from within..It seems to bring about new life. Now isn't that the purpose... in the giving of one simple rose. |
