Stopping Recurrent Leaf-Eating Insects on Roses: Targeted Spraying and Pest Identification

Insects hide in soil at base, under leaves, or on nearby plants. Spray soil, leaf undersides, and neighbors. Identify by damage: beetles = sharp edges; caterpillars = rounded holes; rabbits = clean cuts at leaf base. After spraying, cut canes back to pale green pith (no brown).
