Does anyone know of a way to keep grasshoppers from eating my roses.?

I tried the garden center down the road but was told you can only get a contact spray for grasshoppers so I would have to sit there all day waiting to get them. I work all day so that is out of the question

Reply:Try 7 dust or some mild soap and water and spray on roses. I know their leaves hate to be wet. Could try liquid 7 but the 7-dust would be better.

Reply:Tell them NO or tap them on the nose.
Reply:sprinkle them with sevin dust. Planting marigolds around them also keeps insects away.
Reply:you can buy Mantis from garden center or get bird food to attract birds to eat them. They are grasshopper's natural enemy, why poison your rose when you can use a more healthy way?
