Default Little black Beetles

Lot's of them!

They're about the size of aphids. Anyone else experiencing them or know
what they are?


If they're the same as mine there are several zillion infesting my roses,
though dousing them with Provado seems to kill a lot of the buggers. I don't
know if they're to blame, but my first flush of blooms were a stunted,
distorted failure. But after Provado, I'm now getting some proper flowers
again.

I presumed it was the beatles, since I couldn't see hardly any aphids or
thrips or anything else. Just masses of the little beetle things. I did post
further up the group, but got no responses :'(
