    Good information, Paul. For a less nuclear approach to JB control, I've found both planting trap crops, such as four o'clocks and using Milky Spore to be quite helpful. Most of the current JBs seem to belong to the neighbor, so I do try to plant a few trap crops over by his property. Far be it from me to "take" anything that belongs to him. Meow...LOL

    Paul,

    I'm not a "Rose" person, but do have a few in my borders.
    I found this Article to be extremely helpful, and appreciated the accompanying pics to each description!

    Thanks so much for the pictorial additions, and the clear, consice "do's" and "don'ts". IMO, a very good Article. Thanks!

    Thanks, Paul. I'm hoping you just forgot to mention that I won't get any of those pests. Crossing fingers. Great information!

    Paul, I have lots and lots of Thrips in my area. They grow alfalfa all around me, that they multiple in. They play heck with the buds. Any good remedies. Have planted over 150 roses around the house. LOVE them. Nolan
