Weevilsred bug on roses
Hi! These little red guys are all over our roses every Spring and if we don’t pick them off (hundreds) we get no flowers. Do you know what they are and/or how to deal with them? Thanks very much!

Hi Sarah,
This is the Rose Curculio or Rose Weevil, Rhynchites (Merhynchites) bicolor. BugGuide has much information on this rose pest.
