Today I noticed on my roses out the backyard that most of the bud
sites are covered in aphids. Now before i go on I should warn you
that i put the "um" in greenthumb and ive never tackled aphids before.
My iceberg has had half-hearted buds and flowers all winter, and the buds
have been completely covered in aphids. fricking birds get their seeds right
over the roses, but they haven't et the aphids. I might cut back their seed
ration.
You can rub off the aphids, make up a bowl of soapy water. Won't kill the
ladybirds that way.
Or you can just nuke them with slayaphe.
