If on rose bushes a pest – an aphid – has appeared in the bushes, and there are no insecticides at hand, then simple folk remedies will come to the rescue.

These insects multiply very quickly and cause damage to the plant. They feed on the sap, so the leaves of the flower may turn yellow, the buds will not develop and the plant will look sick.

Make an onion decoction that fights aphids and spider mites. Cut 200 g of onion and boil it in 10 liters of water for 30 minutes.  Process every 5 days 3 times.

Infusion of yarrow: pour 500 g of dried grass with 2 liters of boiling water and infuse for 35-40 minutes. After that, dilute in 10 liters of water and treat roses affected by aphids.

You can also make a tobacco infusion: pour 100 g of tobacco with 1 liter of boiling water, let it infuse for 12 hours. Dilute in 5 liters of water and process the flowers.

Florists recommend planting lavender in a flower bed with roses, it repels aphids with its smell.
