I'm a newbie at growing roses. I planted three bushes last year, including the pictured David Austin rose 'Tamora', and something is eating the leaves. In the picture, to the right of the flower, there's a caterpillar caught in the act. Can anyone please tell me what it is, and how I can combat it (preferably without noxious chemicals, as we have a fish pond close to the flowerbed).
