Is this White fly?

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

This pic is of a cone flower but I have this on a lot of my roses. When I go to wipe it off, some fly away and then I can wipe off the remaining sticky stuff. Assuming it’s whitefly. The hose removes it but I get black spot and it’s been humid so I’d rather not wet the plant too often. I sprayed the other day with a Doctor earth insecticide but clearly that did nothing. I’m also loosing buds like crazy to aphids or thrips. My new growth is crisping and buds are damaged.

    Jaime,

    They're pretty inactive. Just run your fingers up and down the stems, squashing them. The same with leaf undersides.
