cucumber beetles


Help!! I have the spotted cucumber beetle flying around and in my rose
flowers.  Any ideas on how to control?  I crush them quickly when I find
them but they fly away so fast. I am using neem to control miscellanous
bugs on the broccoli and roses but it apparently leaves no residual
deterrant smell so is a temporary disruption only. A contact spay. 
My roses are blooming profusely right now, the last big show of the year I
think and my living room is full of bouquets. I just love it!!  
The thrips seem to be under control with the neem and don't see too much
damage by the cuc beetle but looking ahead I don't want to have the
diseases the beetle spreads.
Ideas are welcome.
and TIA
