I used to use Ortho Systemic Rose & Flower Care granules which worked very
well. Ever since Bayer restricted the Di-Syston ingredient for their
product Advanced Garden 2-in-1 Systemic Rose & Flower Care, I have not
had the same luck; aphids just seem to ignore the Bayer. Is anyone using
the Bayer successfully? I am in No. California.


I'm in the bay area, I used bayer on my roses about 2 weeks back. This week
I noticed I had a rather heavy aphid infestation, so it doesn't seem to be
working. But I don't know if 2 weeks is enough time for to get soaked up
into the plant.

I liked ortho as well, it worked very well.
