bugs

**Wade &Michelle Peterson wdpmap@fflax.net>**

Hello everyone,

I never post, because I only have one rose, I have no clue what it is
and it usually gives me no problems.  But I need your help now.

I have to start off this letter saying that I don't really know why I
love to garden, bugs and I are not a good combination!

I was dead heading my rose and smelling the wonderful blooms, when what
did I notice as my nose was inches away from a flower, but a bug.  I was
totally grossed out (ok, you can tell I grew up in the 80's!),  it was
the ugliest bug I have ever seen.  It is less than a 1/2 inch long, a
light greenish brown color with a stripe down its back.  The ugly things
are burring themselves into the open flowers and some of the were piled
on top of each other.  I don't know what they were doing to the flowers
if anything.  I'm sure I'm being too vague to make this easy, but does
anyone have a clue as to what these bugs are and how do I get rid of
them.

I do have another problem with this rose, a lot of the buds are not
opening.  They are dyeing.  This rose gets 5-6 buds in a clump, one
opens and the rest get kind'a turn brown and don't open.  I'm sure that
if all of the buds would've opened, it would've stopped traffic.

I think this is all of my problems.  Carleen, this is the one that I
gave you, are you having any of these problems?

Michelle
