From Stephanie: I found a few aphids on one of my roses this morning. They love the tender new growth! If you catch them early, a sharp blast of water a couple times can be enough to get rid of them. Make sure to do it in the morning to avoid triggering fungal issues!
If aphids have reached infestation levels, application of insecticidal soap might be needed as well. We sell Safers brand and can help with good info.
