Linda Lou McCabe on Jun 20, 2016Use Rose Care granules, they also feed the plant as well as taking care of the insects eating your foliage, however it wont change the leaves that already have holes in them,hope this helpsHelpful Reply

Mary Coakley on Jun 25, 2016There is something eating them,you need to check with the garden centre,the soapy stuff you mention is only for aphids green or black things that attack the buds.Snails put holes in leaves but they cannot get up to roses,sorry cannot help with the holes in your leaves.Helpful Reply

Cathy on Jun 25, 2016Do you see bugs? It is about the time of year that Japanese Beetles make their appearance. They're the beetle that develops from the grubs in your lawn. They aren't tiny, so they're hard to miss. I would go to a garden supply store and find something to sprinkle on your roses. The good news is, if Japanese Beetles are the problem, that they're only around for a couple of weeks.Helpful Reply

Patte Wills on Jun 25, 2016Sometimes it's leaf cutter/mason bees. They cut out roundish sections of leaves for their nests. An excellent pollinator. Is not eating the leaves or harming plant. Damage is cosmetic only.Helpful Reply
