Silvery Spots on Tea Rose Leaves = Rose Slugs (Sawfly Larvae)

Tea rose leaves have silvery spots, older spots become holes. Insect or fungus?

Rose Slugs (Sawfly Larvae)

Young larvae "windowpane" leaves (eat lower layer → silvery tissue → brown → holes). Older larvae chew holes like caterpillars.

Control

Any rose insecticide for chewing insects. Spray leaf undersides + base of bush (where they hide).
