I have tiny little green worms all over my rose bush. They are eating the leaves. They leave the skelatin of the leaf and eat all the top of it. I was picking them off and pulling off the leaves that had many on them but they are all over it. Any good suggestions for removal would be appreciated!

put a couple;e of the worms in a small bottle of rubbing alcohol.

Take them to the extension office on Telegraph in Pontiac
they will tell you what they are and what to do to get rid of them.

Thank you Paul. I am sorry I did not respond. I am brand new here and could not find this! I am searching around today and was able to find you. I ended up just picking off as many as I could find over a few days and may have saved the bush but wow. Lots of little green worms. They did a lot of damage. I have not been able to find them on anything else. I don't like to use pesticides at all and actually haven't used them in the 4 years I've been here.
Is the extension office in the same complex as the courthouse? Do they have a website?
Thanks again for your help.
