Are your roses starting to look like this? I can't believe how quickly the bugs started nibbling my leaves right up this year. Here is a very simple homemade spray for your rose bushes to help keep the aphids and other not so lovely critters away. I spray this on the leaves after each rain and it helps enormously. Using a large container mix together: 2 quarts water 1 tablespoon dishwashing soap 1 cup leftover coffee Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and mist your plants. That simple!
