HELP - Slugs in rose bushes - Any remedies ?


I have found that if you use a systemic Rose care product
(Bayer and Ortho are two brands that I know of) you won't
have slug problems.

I would hand pick them off the plants and check the base of
the plant. They like to hide in the mulch that many of us
put around our Roses. There are also some products that you
can use to attract (and kill) the slugs. If you want to use
a non chemical product use stale beer (open a can and let it
sit all day). Put it in shallow cups around your plants and
the slugs will craw in and drown.

This page of my web site,

of my Roses and there are others on my web site.
