My daughters rose HELP

This looks the same pattern as I had on my gooseberry bush, sawfly, was the culprit, I hosed vigerously each day to knock them off and then killed them, do not touch them it is advised wear gloves, here is a link
Its the first year I have ever had them, it also stated that they can strip trees.

thanks 6d. I have text her and told her to look at my homepage and read what you have written with the link.

Its the same pattern I reckonised it soon as I seen the picture,I thought I had got them as last year I had my son and grandson move all the fruit trees along the fence next to the gooseberry bush, so I don't know if that is the reason, but the fruit trees are untouch, the blue tits love eating them, which I wondered why they kept going under and on to my gooseberry bush lol I thought they were nicking the gooseberries :o) there is stuff you can get for this but as it was fruit I just hosed hard like it said to.

I think its a leaf cutter bee, they take the piece right out and take it away.

Here is a link incase it is the bee for her.

Thanks Cinders and sixpence you have been helpful. its much appreciated.

never seen damage like that..... hope you find out what it is....

Just been speaking to my daughter and she thanks you for your help, she went to her garden centre and they told her its a leaf cutter bee and it's most unlikely it will touch any other rose, she has bee boxes in the garden and apparently the bee cutter takes the leaf to the bee boxes, he told her she was very lucky to have a bee cutter in her garden as they are very rare nowadays, anyone know different I would be intrested to hear, nearly written a blog here.!!!!! Lol

Dont think this is Sawfly? wrong sort of damage the hole look like Leaf cutter?

I agree think it is the Leaf cutter Bee!

I have these on my climbing rose each year,it is large and well established now so I just cut off damaged leaves if they get unsightly.The shrub recovers well.
Leaf cutter bees are the female and are solitary.Like any bee they are pollinators so tolerate them if you can.I suppose you could watch out for them and waft them away but you may have to get up early :)

big bites yorkshire, what a shame to ;o((

I agree take off the damaged leaves - they live in old wood and are great pollinators

thanks all for your help,

Yorkshire its a shame about your daughters rose, but I am grateful for your blog as I`d never heard of a leaf cutter bee before and your photo gives us something to look out for and recognise - who`d be without our goy friends.

thats a very special rose to my daughter Stroller, would break her heart if she lost it, everyone on has been very helpful even the chap my daughter spoke to at her garden centre, its amazing the way they cut through the leaf, like you say at least we know what it is now,and what to look out for.

see what you mean

It is the work of a hard working bee, bless, lining their nest, aaahhhhh.

It is def the leaf cutter bee.....by the time you see the damage....she is sitting snuggly in her nest...they love young rose leaves.....It happens to mine every year...I dont think you will be able to see it in action....:>)

It must have a big mouth!

LOL because I am at your comment!!

This morning I was sitting under one of my cherry trees that the leaf cutter had been at and I was wondering if it had a big mouth or made lots of trips?

Google leafcutter bee video, it is a short video showing how they cut the leaves :)
