Default Damn aphids!

g'day sandra,

anyhow roses?? ok look for the ants hey, they will be there so target
the ants as in get them to move on whatever and then the aphids wil
die out, or once the ants ahve gone they can be knocked off the um
roses with s trong spray not jet of water.

you could also try applying a layer of vaseline around the trunk near
the base so the ants can't climb up the plant, be sure the plant
touches nothing else or they will find that route. there is some
product yo can buy for this purpose one is a tape the other a gel that
orchadists use.

other than that they realy won't do that much damage.
