My rose bush looks dead and is covered with June bugs!?

Question

Is my rose bush going to comeback next year? I swear these critters have only been here a couple nights. I just noticedthe problem now. I went to water and was shocked at the sight of the bush. It is ugly and brown and the leaves are full of holes. So I got close and shook the bush and tons and tons of June bugs, or beatles flew off. What should I do?

Answer 1

The bugs you're seeing are proably rose chafer beetles or Japanese beetles. Here is some info on identifying and treating:
