Hi!
I finally got my rose garden planted for natasha, about 2 weeks ago (and am already seeing buds). My more urgent question revolves around some bugs that are eating out my leaves. If you flip the leaf over they're little bitty green worms with black heads. We bought some insicdicide, but I have to wait till tomorrow morning/tonight before I can apply it because it's a spray. Anything I should do specially? They've started on one of the plants and are slowly moving down the row.
Also, one of the other plants has bright green leaves on the majority of the plant, but the original leaves which are close to the plant have turned yellow and fallen off. Do you think this could be fungus or maybe just old leaves and not enjoying the transplant?
We have chives and marigolds in the garden with the roses, is there anything else we should add for bug control, or am I doomed using insecticide? One of my friends aunts swears by soapy water, do you think that might help?
Sorry for so many questions, we're new at this rose thing and I really want this to work.
Thanks for your help!
Jess
