Any ideas how I can rid my rosebush of aphids WITHOUT chemicals? Heard of
garlic, washing up liquid and water- does this work or heard of any
others?
Thanks


yes, leave the blue tits to do the job for you.
FWIW I have never sprayed *anything* on aphids and never found they did any
serious damage to my plants. I do get enormous pleasure from watching tits
especially but also gold finches clinging onto the stems and gobbling up
beaks full of the insects to feed their young with.
