ISOLATE THIS PLANT UNTIL ITS CLEAR!!! Check your other plants to make sure they didn’t transfer ### Yolanda a commenté le 2025-05-18 Repeat Neem oil every 7 days on plant front and back of leaves.. if you can’t get the infestation under control then you might have to discard the plant 😏keep it isolated a while from your plants but keep checking.. good luck #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-18 So if I don’t have that oil ? ### Yolanda a commenté le 2025-05-18 Just do the first part then, you grab it from Walmart or Amazon. But it really would be beneficial to get it then you can keep all your plants sprayed with it as preventative measures. #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-18 Ok thank you so much ### Yolanda a commenté le 2025-05-18 My pleasure ### Lynda a commenté le 2025-05-18 You could also get a small spray bottle of neem oil online, like from Amazon… and it’s very inexpensive. Or check your local big box store; you’ll find it there, as well. Good luck! ### Lynda a commenté le 2025-05-18 This is from Amazon, and it’s less than $10… ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/kVxs1Fa2TxKR2jkDAdk6Vw.webp?size=large) #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-18 Yes I already ordered it, but I asked her because it doesn’t arrive now, so I can do something before. #### Lynda ha respondido el 2025-05-18 I just asked Siri, and this is what she said to use for a DIY method to rid your rose of aphids. I hope this helps! ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/lzRIQ_A8T8a3MWg3flAV9g.webp?size=large) ### Lynda a commenté le 2025-05-18 Also, I think I’d use the soapy water spray, first, and then use a high-pressure water sprayer to spray all of those buggies off your plant! #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-18 Ok I have it here thank you so much #### Lynda ha respondido el 2025-05-18 You are so welcome! Best of luck with those nasty little aphids! #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-20 My rose is doing well, it has fewer insects, I can count them, before there were many it seems that your tip is working. 👍🏻👍🏻 ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/aq-4DXzlgyWAZW7-61559_aRCM0ggWxQ7bvUoQTva-g/k2mx5BUHT6yE1_ARmJ7FJg.webp?size=large) #### Lynda ha respondido el 2025-05-21 I’m so glad to hear that! I know from past experience that roses can be, let’s say challenging, to use the current vernacular. Between fungus and pests, they will keep you on your toes all the time. I hope you have some beautiful blooms shortly… Best of luck! #### Joana ha respondido el 2025-05-21 Thank You very much _2 réponses supplémentaires dans l'app_ --- _La communauté Planta (https://getplanta.com).
