Natural Pest Control For Roses

Cultivate aphid predators by planting lettuce and dill near your roses.

To naturally control aphids, you can cultivate small flowering plants near your roses that attract the aphid predators. The most common of these are dill, lettuce and cilantro. Aphid predators include ladybugs, lacewings and hoverflies.

Throw coffee grounds around your roses to prevent rose chafers.

If you want to protect your roses from rose chafers, try throwing some coffee grounds around the base of your roses. It’s important to keep them moist so they don’t dry out (which will attract slugs). You can cut up compost and mix it with the coffee grounds or use fresh coffee grounds on their own. If you don’t have any plants that need fertilizing this way, consider using them in a pot by themselves. This is an easy way to get rid of slugs without hurting any animals!

Use Neem oil as a foliar spray to treat rose pests.

Neem oil is an effective natural pesticide that controls aphids, mites and thrips. It can be used as a foliar spray in the spring or summer when it’s warmer. If you’re concerned about using Neem oil near your rose bushes, don’t worry—it’s safe for humans and pets to come into contact with it. Just make sure you wear gloves when applying the product.

Neem oil can be purchased at most garden centres or online through companies such as Amazon or eBay (search “neem oil organic pesticides).

Pinch off leaf galls in early spring as soon as you notice them.

You can easily remove leaf galls in early spring. The gall is caused by a tiny wasp that lays eggs in the plant, and it’s best to treat them as soon as you notice them because they can cause damage to your plant if you leave them for too long.

The best way to get rid of pests is to keep them from ever becoming a problem.

If you want to keep your roses healthy and pest-free, the best thing you can do is:

• Keep your garden clean. Remove all dead leaves, damaged stems and other plant waste. This will make it easier to spot any pests that may have made their way into your garden.
• Don’t use pesticides or harsh chemicals on your plants. These products can be toxic to bees and other insects so they should be avoided at all costs.
• Don’t over-water or over-fertilize roses. Roses are very sensitive to changes in weather conditions, especially when it comes to watering them properly! The best times for watering are early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler (but not too hot). You should also never pour water directly onto the plant; instead fill up a bucket with water from the sink first before pouring it onto soil around roots where needed most carefully as excess moisture could damage roots which could lead us back down this path again…
