Hi! I’m brand new to gardening this year and I’m super excited to share some of the flowers that are beginning to open up and pop up! I had no idea I would love it this much! What do you think of my little baby roses??

    i’ve just gotten into gardening and ironically my first project included a bunch of roses. unfortunately one is already overrun with aphids and not sure what to do

      Have you tried putting a little bit of neem oil on them? That should kill the aphids. There’s also plant soaps you can use but in less familiar with them.

      The first, and easiest, step you can try is to just blast them off with the hose. Ideally, you will create an environment that is balanced, and birds and beneficials will keep your pests in check, but that takes time.
