How to get rid of bugs on rose leaves?

Hi,

I have bugs on my rose tree. I used Neem Oil last week but seems not working.

Can anybody advise what insecticide shall I use to get rid of these bugs ?

The photographs are attached.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @VijayWani,

 

Thank you for your question.

It looks like you've got aphids on your roses.

If you've found that neem oil is not deterring the aphids, I'd suggest using this Yates 750mL Ready To Use Rose Gun Black Spot And Insect Killer which is a stronger insecticide that is safe for use on roses.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Jacob,

thanks for the reply. I also found the same bugs on Tomato plants.

Can I use the same insecticide for tomato plant ? Is it safe to use the same one ?

Hi @VijayWani,

 

I can't say I'm sure about that one.

Just to be safe, it would be better to use Yates 750ml Ready To Use Pyrethrum Insecticide, which is fine to use on both tomatoes and roses.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
