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
Greenfly doesn't like onions, so plant some chives between your roses,
you'll have pretty flowers as well. Parsley grown as a companion plant
will also help repel them. I have heard that nettles soaked in rainwater
for two or three weeks and then used as a spray is very effective. Good
luck.
