Bayer Rose and Flower Care. Feeds and protects against insects in one

Disulfoton is in that. Bad stuff. Even for non-organic gardeners, aphids
are so easily gotten rid of it is not a great idea to use something
extremely toxic to control a problem that a couple drops of dishwashing
soap in water would do just as easily. Disulfoton is killing lots of
benificial insects, for a net loss to the garden rather than a net gain.
It contaminates water, injures fish & birds & mammals, is a carcinogen. I
imagine the label warns not to use it anywhere near anything harvested to
eat, & one reason to have roses is the rosehips are very useful in the
kitchen. Are you convinced the roses would go all to hell if you didn't
use such a product?
