Default new rose garden - I have wierd bugs - not jap beatles help?

I would take a close look at the large rose and compare it to the other
two. Leaf, stems, color of leaf, etc. It may not be an Appleblossom
Carpet! Wouldn't be the first time a rose was mislabeled! ;-))

Thanks for the advice. I gave my garden the 3rd treatment of a systemic
three in one garden treatment by bayer. The cucumber beatles appear to be
gone, and all but 2 of my rose bushes are in bloom. The 2 that are not
blooming are growing phenomenally. I also have three carpet rose bushes
that are 2 years old, they were all labled the same, appleblossem carpet
roses, one is not flowering and has grown so large it has taken over the
whole garden.
