For the first time in ten years of roses, I am having a problem with these little critters too. I've never seen them go after roses! Is this common?

Nanirose, like any other pest, I'm starting by hand picking and cleaning up the litter around the plant. Let me know how you make out.

I'm doing the same thing...there seem to be less of them in the last few days (or that's just wishful thinking!) so maybe nature is taking pity on me!
Thanks for the input!
