Roses without aphids: WTF?
Notice anything unusual about this rose foliage?
To my utter astonishment, there are no aphids on the new growth. And I mean none – I’ve hunted, believe me, and there’s not a single aphid of any hue anywhere on these plants. And it’s May, FFS.
It’s not because I’ve sprayed them; I don’t do that. So how come?
Well, to apply Holmesian logic: If I’ve not sprayed them, and nobody else is spraying them (the midnight Derris Duster?), there can only be one conclusion:
There are no aphids because it’s been SO FUCKING COLD.
