Default How do I keep my roses alive?


Now I wish I could figure out a way to keep those miserable cucumber

beetles
and thrips from eating holes in the petals.

BTW, Don Juan is a heavy spring bloomer for me with occasional blossoms
during the heat of the summer and a minor burst of blooms when it cools in
the fall. Is that usual?

Try underplanting with Garlic & Marigold - I found that keeps the beetles
off but not the Aphid
