Great tip Margie. I'm off to plant garlic by my roses tomorrow.

Make sure you plant the right end of the garlic. It really does work.

And soapy water sprayed onto them... Aphids hate it!

I use the used laundry water...

YEP, what the heck is fish emulsion, where do you get it, and how do you
keep your cats from going psycho after it? LOL

I have a hard time keeping roses happy. What is your secret? I'm allergic
to
chemicals, so I don't spray them, and I think that's probably the
problem.
We have lots of aphids and some black spot.

I'm not Mj, but I wash my roses with hard water spray to rid them of
aphids.
And I use fish emulsion to keep them strong, so they're not as likely to
get
black spot....but when they do get that junk, I'm nuts about removing the
infected leaves. But I have almost no roses where we live now. Does any
of
that help?

Hardware stores and garden centers sell it by the gallon. I can't remember
what it is (the jug is outside, and it's 2 a.m.). Cats love it. You can't
stop them from being psycho, about it or anything else! Haw haw haw

Some of our roses are already past their peak bloom, but others are just
coming on strong. Here's a few pink ones (and one lavender!) to drool
