As soon as the roses open the little critters queue up for lunch. They have a right to eat what ever they want, but not in my back yard. Beat it, Greeny!
Bonjour Bill Les roses de votre jardin sont en avance sur les miennes,seulement en bouton à cause du mauvais temps de ces dernières semaines. Hélas, les pucerons sont déjà là !

@elleona Si vous ne voulez pas utiliser de produits chimiques, puis pulvériser les pucerons avec un jet d'eau pure. Il devrait être assez fort pour les faire tomber. Si cela ne fonctionne pas ou si ils reviennent trop vite mélanger un peu de savon à vaisselle liquide dans un seau d'eau. Pas trop, juste assez pour faire quelques belles bulles de savon. Puis pulvériser ce mélange sur les tiges et les bourgeons où les pucerons se nourrissent. Il fonctionne même si vous venez de verser délicatement l'eau savonneuse sur les parties touchées.

Bonjour Bill
Les roses de votre jardin sont en avance sur les miennes,seulement en bouton à cause du mauvais temps de ces dernières semaines. Hélas, les pucerons sont déjà là ! Avez-vous une recette miracle pour les chasser - et sans produit chimique ?J'ai planté trois pieds de lavande au milieux des rosiers car il paraît que l'odeur fait fuir les pucerons ? Seulement, ils sont jeunes et la lavande n'est pas encore en fleur :-((
Bisous et caresses à Smokey.
@elleona
Si vous ne voulez pas utiliser de produits chimiques, puis pulvériser les pucerons avec un jet d'eau pure. Il devrait être assez fort pour les faire tomber. Si cela ne fonctionne pas ou si ils reviennent trop vite mélanger un peu de savon à vaisselle liquide dans un seau d'eau. Pas trop, juste assez pour faire quelques belles bulles de savon. Puis pulvériser ce mélange sur les tiges et les bourgeons où les pucerons se nourrissent. Il fonctionne même si vous venez de verser délicatement l'eau savonneuse sur les parties touchées. Smokey wushes vous souhaite bonne chance.
I know what you mean Bill, how funny I'm doing a post tomorrow on exactly this theme. My problem is mostly aphids, ugh!!
Awesome macro ~ gorgeous flower and bees actually spread the pollen for more flowers to sprout ~ Gentleman ~ ^_^ ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
He's only popping in for lunch. It's obviously a five star, gourmet restaurant:-)
Lovely macro. Ladybugs eat aphids, so it's good they are on your roses. Joining you from Macro Monday.
The color of the rose is beautiful!
Perfect shot! I'm so with you on getting them out of my garden, too! Leave my flowers and veggies alone!!!
Beautiful colored rose and shot! The bug is photogenic too...haha!
