Beetles, aphids and mites, oh, my! 

Just a few bugs that would like to munch on your roses and maybe already are! 

Japanese Beetles like to feed on rose bushes from June through August.   Here’s a link to more information:

Aphids and mites will suck the plant juices leaving the leaves speckled, yellowed and distorted.  Use insecticidal soaps to control them.  This will also fend off the leaf hopper.
