Beetles
Hello all. I have a fairly old ( 30 years at least ) flowering rose
bush which just finished it's first set of flowers and was starting a new bunch. I noticed the first flower of the new set had some holes in the petals and then I spotted a ovular shaped beetle about 1/2" long x 1/4" wide . There is a black stripe down the middle lengthwise and the sides are a bronze color . The top of the pointed head is glossy and dark purple . Any hints on what this may be and how to take care of it before it causes big problems or is it too late ? Thanks , Don,... |

If you scroll down a bit you will see three of these bugs on a pink
rose . These are a good approximation of what was on my plant . http://progressivegardening.com/Prog...esRoseA250.jpg Address:http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...0%26ie%3DUTF-8 If this long addy doesn't work I'll try something else . |

Beetles
The Japanese Beetles we had in El Paso in the 50-60's were green backed
and rather jeweled looking. As a kid, they attacked our sun flowers and we plucked them off (we wanted the seed..) and some we attached sewing thread and had them fly like a dog on a leash. There might be many versions out there - not a bug guy myself. :-) Martin beccabunga wrote: Donald Keeney;856161 Wrote: If you scroll down a bit you will see three of these bugs on a pink rose .

Looks like the Japanese Beetle illustrated on this site: http://tinyurl.com/m3k7xl Quite far down the page so keep scrolling! |
