Default Worms and white stuff

white stuff may be powdery mildew. Mildew and aphids are not easily
controlled in my experience. I wind up using sprays.

I am not an avid gardener but recently I have noticed some white stuff
on my rose bush. I went online and though I have note seen any image
similar, I decided to try a home remedy of vinegar and baking soda
mixture to treat. I have dont this but upon further examination there
are worms and tiny, what I believe to be aphids on the rose bush. The
whole thing is affected and I really cant see myself chopping the whole
thing down, out of the question! Any suggestions? I would be keen on
getting home made remedies as my budget does not stretch to anything
outside of what's necessary Cheers for any advice.

NO ONE HAS ANY ADVICE???
