My roses are still growing hard here in Sussex, and because of
the
dryness and heat we now have the dreaded aphids making a return
visit.
I don't want to use Rose Clear etc, and have heard that they do
not
like soapy water. Is this true, and if so what sort of soap and
what
strength of mixture is best? Will dilute washing up liquid do the
trick for instance?
Thanks John
Soapy water and methelated spirits mixed together is even better
:~))
A squirt of washing up liquid + a dollop of meths in a pint of
water.
and a small dash of bitters and a splash of tonic.......

Shaken not stirred...........
with a Greek Cypriot Olive/Lime.........
