I’m quite sure this problem didn’t exist last week, but yesterday I noticed that some of the rose leaves looked completely eaten away. Then I spotted this nasty green cluster of aphids on the flower, and on practically every one. And we have a lot of roses.
The ones in front of the front door are also infested.
I went to the garden center right away today, and they gave me Cefaclor. I’m going to mix it as soon as the sun goes down, and then get started. The salesperson said I need to treat every leaf. That’s hardly possible with such dense foliage—there are thousands of leaves!

Hm, well, we currently also have a lot of aphids – the good thing is, most of them are on the plants in the meadow and not on my perennials ) Meanwhile, there are also many ladybugs, lacewings, and paper wasps… they will take care of the aphids.
As many different native plants as possible, so that not only the "pests" feel comfortable.
There will never be any poison or even soapy water used in this garden.
