Brown worms boring into leafbuds

16 years ago

Help! I have little dark brown worms chewing into the leafbuds of some of my roses. The worms are small (not much longer than 1/4"). They are making cocoons between the leaves that have opened and/or boring into the leafbuds that haven't opened and chewing downwards towards the canes. I've been hand picking them and trying to pull them out of the leafbuds. I doubt the rose will leaf out where they have chewed. Any idea what the worms are? Should I cut back the damaged canes? I prefer an organic solution if possible.
