How to rid rose bushes of aphids without chemicals?

Mild dish soap half water half soap spray in the eveNing. Also lady bugs help, they eat the lady bugs. You might want to call a local garden center and find out where to purchase them.

Apply a horticultural oil,however you will have to eventually realize certain insects will take over without the necessary chemicals.

Thanks, ladies

I agree with the lady bugs. Also insecticidal soap will help, but in my experience won't kill them completely and has to be applied every few days. Roses- especially teas and grandifloras- really have to be treated with poison to thrive. If you don't like dealing with poison you might consider growing a different type of plant.

I use a spray bottle with 1/2 water and 1/2 rubbing alcohol and spray away. Do not forget the under side of all leaves.

I put a bucket in sink and collect the soapy water from washing machine every time I wash and go throw it on my roses, no cost, but effective, I also try to buy insect free plants when buying new roses.

i usually just squirt with the hose setting on stream or squish them with fingers
