Yes, they are japanese beetles and they are horrible. Use a spray containing sevin in it. You can find it at a plant nursery. If you can find them, Ross makes stakes that contain fertilizer and plant food. You pound them into the ground around your roses and it controls all pests all season. Home Depot used to carry it.
Reply:I made an error. Look for stakes that contain plant food and insecticide. Report It
Reply:A good dusting with Diatomaceous Earth will remedy that problem. DE, as it is called is not a poison and is completely harmless to anything other than insects. Its know in harware stores as garden dust.
Reply:. Buy yourself a bag of Ladybugs. And or a nest of praying Mantis. These are natural bug eaters. You don't have to use poisons, to get rid of those pests. And the ladybugs and mantis will come back every year.
Reply:Yes. If you want to be organic, mix a little dish or hand soap in water and spray your leaves. It will keep the nasty critters off. Otherwise, go to your local harware or nursery and get rose care. It come in a spray or dust and will help keep the bugs off too.
