Essential tips for keeping a rose garden free of pests
01.
Encourage Natural Predators
Ladybugs and lacewings are your rose's best friends. They gobble up aphids and other pests. You can attract them by planting companion plants like dill, fennel, or yarrow nearby.
02.
Prune Smartly
Regular pruning removes dead or diseased wood where pests love to hide. To keep your roses vigorous, use sanitized tools and cut them at a 45-degree angle above a healthy bud.
03.
Keep the Soil Healthy
Enrich the soil with organic compost to strengthen your roses’ immune system. Avoid overwatering, as it creates a damp environment favorable for pests.
04.
DIY Insecticidal Soap
Mix mild soap with water and spray it on pests like aphids or spider mites. This non-toxic solution works wonders without harming beneficial insects. Spray neem oil or insecticidal soap on roses to deter pests naturally.
05.
Plant Companion Herbs
Grow garlic, marigolds, or lavender near your roses. These companion plants act as natural pest repellents. Their scent confuses and deters pests, keeping your roses safer.
