Buggies!

My poor roses, every year they become covered in Aphids. If I were smart I would have sprayed them BEFORE the Aphid intrusion. I know they come every year so why, why did I not spray them before hand? I will tell you why. Every year I check and hope and pray they will not come. They even arrived late this year, tricky little turds. I was thinking I got lucky, HA! Because they came! And they came with a vengeance!!

I have learned that with Aphids it may take more than one spray to completely clear them. I use Malation in a garden sprayer, attatched to my hose. I do two sprays a week apart and it usually does the trick. We have already done the second spray and I am happy to say my rose bushes are aphid-free. Now if only they would have gotten away unharmed (sad face)
