Rose chafer is a light tan beetle with red spindly legs. It is often confused with Japanese beetle. The insect feeds on the flowers. Pesticides do not give satisfactory control. The insects occur in large numbers and those killed by pesticides are soon replaced by insects from surrounding areas.
Japanese beetle eats the flowers and foliage.
Rose Leafhopper feeds on the undersides of leaves causing white stippling. It feeds on flower buds and rolls and ties the leaves together with silk. Rose midge is most serious during the June and autumn blooming seasons. The upper end of the shoot turns brown or black and dies. The maggots may be found in the flower buds.
