| Hi all,
My roses seem to getting eaten by something which I am unable to find on the plants. Any ideas and what to do organicly?
I also have plants next to the road that are wild but are not being attacted.
Check my site for pictures.

| Catapiliars or earwigs or leaf cutter bees. I couldn't see that close BT or DE For the fix I could be wrong here too. |

| Rose sawfly. Look like caterpillars but aren't. Thus, Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) won't work. |

| If it was the sawfly larva you would see wee green larva with a larger head than body on the leaves, aka bristly rose slug. I've controled them in the past with BTK as well as insecticidal soap. The BTK either worked or the simply curled up and died, but they looked about the same as the tentworm caterpillars did after ingesting the BTK, curled into a C shape. |
