Hi All,
chives will Not keep aphids away. I have a pot of chives in the green house
and it was covered in aphids. a quick blast of water soon removed them and
all is well now. hope this helps you.

I wonder if chives would be a good companion for roses. (?) Roses seem
*so*
prone to bugs -- maybe the chives would make the bugs feel unwelcome.

Actually, Jan, my rose garden is now where my herb garden used to be and I
specifically left the chives in the rose garden because I'd heard they
were
good for keeping aphids away.
