GREEN FLY ON ROSES.
Already green fly or aphis will have put in an appearance on the young rose shoots and although they may be in only small numbers now is the time to commence spraying to check it. In many gardens, especially exposed ones and where regular spraying is done, aphis is not a menace and never becomes a serious pest. On the other hand, in gardens sheltered and where spraying is not done unless absolutely necessary, aphis seems to be always present in some degree. The only way to control aphis is to spray the moment it is seen, no matter on what plant it is found, and only by such means is it possible to keep plants clear. Once the pest is under control occasional sprayings will keep it under.
