Default Thrip aggravation!!!

I have sprayed my roses and I can't seem to get rid of this thrip.


Have you sprayed with things that are supposed to kill thrips? Cygon is
one. Orthene is another. You apply the latter to the buds before they show
color. There is no other way to combat thrips.

The anti-chem folks might chime in and suggest you ignore or stop growing
light colored roses. Or ... well, folks, any better solutions?
