...Until the *#^@% aphids arrived

These nasty little buggers are called aphids. I took a photo of them on a dandelion stem, but their FAVORITE meal is my ROSE BUSH.  GRRRRRRRR.  They suck all the nutrients out of the plant so the heads of the flowers droop and the leaves fall off. When they are done I am normally left with roses on the end of sticks.  In the past I have used bottle after bottle of aphid sprays, which DO NOT WORK.
