I had treated some of my gardens with different types of organic treatment. Theres a few plant scattered around that I hadnt treated. My little experiments, if you will.

While I hadnt treated my Don Juan yet. Today I went out to have lookies sees and found this unknown beetle had his whole family and extended family invited over for dinner....main course? My roses. 5 Don Juan roses to be exact. So exetreme measures were in order!

The organic recipe I had been using all over the yard(grass only) I used on my roses. I will see if it works. And Ill post the results.

Please see my first trouble shooting roses blog for pics of this new enemy to my roses and the damage done. If you happen to know the name if this little guy , please, I beg you, share.

Oh for heavens sake why do these bugs always go for your beautiful roses!!! I hope the treatment works Denee. Off to have a look at the little horror now to see if I know what it is.

I can't seem to find anything that looks exactly like your beetle Denee but the nearest to it is either the Hoplia beetle or the Fuller rose beetle. Wish I could have found an exact match for you.
