Systemic pesticide for roses

I would like to use a systemic pesticide on my roses. I've heard systemic pesticides can be very dangerous. Systemic means it's taken up and circulated within the entire plant. Systemics are really only dangerous if you eat some part of the treated plant. I've tried several different sprays and am not satisfied with the results.. Can anyone recommend a brand of systemic pesticide that is not so dangerous to humans and pets? For white flies or aphids, insecticidal soap (topical, not systemic) -- homebrew from Bronner's or dish soap works as well as more expensive commercial preps. Don't waste money on commercial soaps with neem, if my experience is any indication. For aphids, lady bugs do a great job and tend to stay put, unlike mantises. |
