Aphids?
Hi Daniel and Lisa,
Found these on my roses… my best guess is that they are aphids. They are on practically every branch tip of my roses. Grrrr. I will try hosing them off with a strong spray, and then will try the soapy water you recommended in one of your aphid letters. Wish me luck!

Hi Yvonne,
That is some Aphid infestation you have there. We have had some springs when we have a similar situation on our own rose bushes. The hose works very well because many of the young aphids are flightless and cnnot get back to the young tender rose shoots once they have been knocked to the ground. We also have problems with yellow aphids with black legs on our hoyas.
