I just spray my aphids off with water. I garden organically and so I have
lady bugs galore when I need them -- they take care of the aphids I miss.
It can take a year or two of not using chemicals on your roses and lawn to
get the lady bugs, but it's worth it. I have 77 roses in a small city lot
and only have to spray a few with water when new growth is forming. Most
aren't bothered at all.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.
