TO DESTROY INJURIOUS INSECTS WHICH ATTACK 
ROSE BUSHES 
1 he question is often asked, “What shall I do to keep my Roses free from insects?’’ The following 
simple remedies the writer has found to be effective, having used them for many years. The remedies are 
easily applied, and no injurious results are produced by their use. 
One of the first enemies to attack the Roses is a Slug or Worm which makes its appearance as soon as 
the second or third leaf is formed. It will be found inside a leaf that is either rolled or folded. 
For this, dust Hellebore on the leaves early in May when the second leaf appears on the young shoot. 
Usually two applications are sufficient, unless washed off by the rains. If the White Thrip or Hopper 
appears, it indicates lack of moisture in the soil; this Thrip will not attack the plants except in hot, dry 
weather. Call into requisition the force-pump or hydrant hose, and wash the bushes on the under side of 
the leaves. Do not wait for rain; delays are dangerous. If you water the plants regularly—just as regularly 
as you would feed animals—in dry weather, you will not be bothered. 
For exterminating Aphis, frequent spraying with force-pump or hose will prove effective and beneficial. 
For mildew, sulphur dusted over the affected plants is good. For Rose or Hessian Bugs hand-picking is the 
only effectual remedy. A good preventive is to plant some small white shrub nearby, viburnum or white 
weigela; these will attract the Rose bugs. A white flower has a peculiar attraction for them. You may 
have noticed how they select the white or lighter colored Roses rather than the darker colored. This bug 
is the most detestable and destructive pest to contend with.
