I did not spray and did not want to spend my time picking off the Japanese beetles, so I removed most of the roses in the garden beds. The three remaining roses are Rosa rubrifolia, Rosa carolina and a white rugosa shrub rose. All go on to produce hips in the fall for wildlife.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643890477596141917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341144875174635980.post-23600692831272400522010-06-26T09:22:02.844-05:002010-06-26T09:22:02.844-05:00Mom and Dad planted roses in front of the parsonag...Mom and Dad planted roses in front of the parsonage this spring and they are doing beautifully, but the first rose brought inside had one of those nasty bugs burrowed deep inside the white flower. <br /><br />Between the Japanese Beetles in the summer(almost spelled it Beatles like the singing group LOL)and the Asian Beetles the rest of the year, I am quite tired of hard shelled flying bugs... Oh well such is life!Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732181531247456798noreply@blogger.com
