Well friends I come with head hung in shame as I have a problem. My rose bush is being stripped by a small green worm,I included some pictures for some help I hope. I did threw the worm away(sorry no picture of it) I did spray the rose bush with dish soap this morning. And my second thing is my mystery plant which up to now nobody knows what it is. Hope everyone had a good 4th. ed poor rose bush ( photo / image / picture from Edlou8181's Garden ) another view of rose bush ( photo / image / picture from Edlou8181's Garden ) mtstery plant with cactus ( photo / image / picture from Edlou8181's Garden )
ed, that mystery plant reminds me of the weeds across the road where I have tomatoes and peppers. Later it has a whiteish flower with a burgundy throat and smells like honey. I was weeding just the other day when I thought of your plant and almost had you post me another picture of it to see if it looked the same. I'll do some digging later to see if I can find it in my ohio flowers book. Right now I should be out cleaning my coop. I got a batch of chicks today. so i don't have time right this instant. sorry. Can't help you with the worm problem, but getting it off your rose is a good thing. Just check it closely to make sure there are no more.
The little green worm is Sawfly larva. They can devour a Rose leaf in no time. Your mystery plant looks like a Oak Tree to me. It definitely has that same shape leaf as an Oak tree. Hummmm Hope that helps.
