Does anyone know any home remedies to keep bugs out of my flower/rose garden? I don't know what kind of buds the are BUT they are eating the leaves flowers.
you do realize that the garden needs some bugs to survive, there are good bugs that take care of a lot of the bad bugs , you start putting in bug killers and your going to wipe out the good bugs too. . . like bees,ladybugs,butterflies,and some garden spiders not to be negative but I just read a article about some bug killers that have wiped out a entire species of honey bees and I am just sure it wont stop there.
I plant garlic gloves next to my roses and also a few marigolds,there keep away most of the bugs. But there are still some where I have to use an organic spray which I buy at the garden centre.
they're probably greenfly, i use a little washing up liquid in a jug with water and tip gently over the leaves, you can also use spent washing-up water. otherwise you could introduce some ladybirds to the leaves which would in turn feed off the bugs and these won't harm the plants, they are the gardeners friends.
Buy a bug spray and put a small quantity of washing up liquid into the bottle,you can also use a spray bottle filled with water and washing up liquid ,it stops the bugs clinging to the stems.Don't spray over the flowers just leaves and stems. They could be white,black or greenfly or frog hoppers,if you cant see anything at all it could be vine weevil,they come out at night and their grubs feed on the roots of plants and kill the whole plant.Snails or slugs also do plenty of damage.
