Just an annual reminder to everyone if you want ladybugs to come to your home you need to give them something to eat when they wake up in the spring! Let the first crop of aphids multiply so the babies have something to eat when they emerge.
Obviously if roses are covered in aphids, hose them off. But a few aphids won't do any harm and you'll have an army of beneficials to work for the rest of the summer!
