I have a new Green Product with two years of research, and designed from the ground up for the Convergent lady beetle-(Scientific name: Hippodamia convergens) Lady-bugs have been used for a number of years nothing new for the Do-it-your self gardener or farmer , Lady-bugs are noted for there feeding frenzy on the pests that feed on your roses. The Best Lady Bug House, design is different looking from the competition where there houses look like bird houses and can confuse the birds. The Best Lady Bug House is small to be placed low to the ground includes a stake for placement near the roses you want them to care take. The web site has limited time free shipping with the purchase of two. The site has flash lady-bugs flying in the house and links to purchase Lady-bugs and attractant which is recommended.

Yes, soapy water is a great trick for bugs on roses. Jeff, Yes, I too am a fan of the Easy Elegance line of roses. Here's a link to earlier post on a new one out this spring: http://gardening.lohudblogs.com/2008/03/11/new-rose-from-bailey-nurseries/ Simone,

Thanks Hi There

I have a few variations of Roses in my garden and although I am having better success this year I am still seeing green fly all over the heads of the flowers and it drives me crazy – my Granny says I should always put my mop bucket water on my roses because soapy water will not hurt the plant but the green fly won’t like it – what do you think, any tips?

Thanks

Another great suggestion for no fuss roses would be the Easy Elegance line. They are also own root roses. The Knock Outs are beautiful.
