buds foaming

18 years ago

all the bare roots i planted this year are doing spectacular here on vancouver island. however, i have a few 2 year olds that have had their leaves eaten by some pests. on these bushes that are affected, the buds are foaming. i did find a few aphids, but i have never known them to cause this condition. any thoughts or knowledge of the cause? thanks

Could be spittle bugs. My perennials get a few of those - but never on my roses. They're little/wee worms/larvae of the spittle bug. I just put my pruners into the foam and a little yellowish worm thing gets onto my pruners. Then I squish the bug against a rock or something. Not really much of a worry.

Got a few on Bonica this year...I just spray the foam off, though maybe Carol's idea is better.
