I've used highly diluted fairly liquid on my roses for years (my
parents
did too) and it does the business. Doesnt seem to put off ladybirds
as I
seem to have quite a few around - big ones too.

How highly diluted?
How many teaspoons per pint?

My 'recipe' is a squirt of soap + a dollop of meths in a handheld sprayer - I
guess it holds a litre.
Not at all academic .......
