Sarah (my daughter that is across the ocean) picked out this rose bush in memory of her cat Jasmine that passed away last year. It was covered with aphids a few weeks ago and they were eating all the leaves. My green-thumb friend told me to spray it with water and a little bit of dish soap. I've been doing that twice a day for about a week and I don't see any more creepy crawlies. Thanks Spleen! Sarah is gone all summer so now it's my Sarah rose bush. This picture was taken pre-soap treatment...it has a lot more roses now and the new leaves aren't full of holes.

Dude. Murphy's Oil Soap was the order. Uh-Oh. Hopefully the dishsoap was not the bright blue kind...
Plants are tough, though, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
