I'm having problems with roses.?

Question

All summer long they have been there (green) but no blooms. So I bought some fertilizer--Bayer. A few of the rose bushes perked up and now I have many blooms, the other bushes not so much. And now I noticed some leaves with holes in them which are from the j*p. beetles. What do I need to do or buy to keep roses bushes looking perky and keep those beetles away? Thank-you

Answer 1

I have found that a dash of the cheep dolor general bug killer about every 4 to 6 weeks, helps rid the beetles. I have read that if people grow a piece of garlic in between the flowers in there bed will also defer the bugs. I have had problems with roses blooming. We had a bush for years that did nothing. Then finally it got a couple blooms that rotted off. So I did some Internet inquiries and found that blood from your Hamburg or roast beef given to the roots of your rose bush works like nothing I have ever seen. I watered the blood down and gave it to the rose bush. For the first time ever the bush was loaded with roses.

Answer 3

treat your yard in the fall with a biological control (milky spore disease) before the ground freezes to infect the grubs( larva stage) otherwise hand pick the adults off .
