Hi This is from the desk of Evie my Wife. You can go to the drug store and get some 3 percent Hydrogen peroxide and dilute it down to 1 half percent. I think that would be 6 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide but don't quote me on the ratio. You can do your own math. But I do know that you do dilute it from 3 percent to 1 half percent. Spray this on the plants and check them every so often and if the problem starts to come back then just spray them again. This is safe and the plants just love it. Hope this helps. Let us know if this works Robert

Hi, I'm not trying to turn this into a gardening list. But we've done "how to kill mosquitos" and "how to kill roaches" and even some other pest removal type things. I'll go for the full monty here: I would like a natural, mix it in the kitchen, won't hurt dogs, kids (and so on) spray liquid mix for care of rose bushes. I have some little critters, that are eating away at the leaves, (no not deer from the Fairmount park) or that might be easier (red pepper and something called blood meal freaks them out I've heard). So thinking it is one of the things that happen to rose bushes, not aphids, I would like to help them out a bit. I'll buy on-line some chem mix if I must. But I'd like some "baking soda" or home mix advice, please, or something to help the leaves of these bushes so they can get the sun they need to survive. I'd never thought I'd be growing rose bushes. but at $30 a doz, the savings and benefits are great. I'm thinking of getting more of them. Blooming two to three times a season, and fragrent too. www.highcountryroses.com Thanks for your help folks. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
