Use one part dish soap, like Dawn or Joy, to three parts water in a spray bottle twice a day to get rid of your pests on your rosebushes. No dish soap necessarily works better than another in this situation. Generic is fine. Also, you can order ladybugs from the internet which will eat all your little aphids and such, and when your bushes are free of pests, they will just fly away. But try the dishsoap mix, it has always worked beautifully for me, and it’s very inexpensive.

Try spraying with a solution of 1 Tbsp of Murphy’s Oil Soap & 1 Tbsp of a soluable fertilizer to 1 gallon of water. I’d try it on one section first to make sure it won’t hurt the rose bush, but I’ve used it successfully on vegetables and driven off Mexican bean beetles & squash bugs.
