harrycatcat1 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Last year I was lambasted for using Rose Clear. Now my roses are covered in greenfly again. I cant for the life of me remember what folks recommend as an alternative, was it washing up liquid mixed with water sprayed on?. I don't want to kill this little fella though.

loriusgarrulus Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 We always used washing up liquid in water to get rid of greenfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Washing up liquid works well and is safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Rose clear helps with rust and a few other issues as well. They won't be flowering at the minute so shouldn't harm the bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I just use the dish water rather than waste washing liquid just for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look so nice when the greasy residue and odd soggy cornflakes dry on the leaves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
