Default THRIPS on 50 year old rose

Oh my God! I can't believe you want to kill bees. How do you think many
flowers are pollinated!?? Poor bees. On cans of insecticide it even says to
"apply in the evening when bees are less active"-to prevent harming them,
although I don't really agree that it would harm them any less. Killing
living creatures isn't GREAT!
I really don't mean to sound nasty here,but along with plant life, I also
care about most living creatures. Sis

I have never tried it on roses, but I have used regular dishsoap mixed

with
water and literally drenched my other plants. This is a very friendly (

well
not to the bugs) environmentally safe way to rid yourself od pests. It is
GREAT for killing bees and wasps!
