My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Insects on rose buds

14 years ago

I was just examining my roses and found ants so I assumed there were aphids and I was right but along with them were

tiny insects with wings, almost as small as the aphids. I was able to squash them easily and I thought they may be adult rose sawflies but when I looked them up it appears that sawflies are larger than these. Does anyone have a clue as to what they may be?
