Still aphids though!
You could try spraying with diluted ecofriendly washing up liquid.

Wear rubber gloves and squish!

I had greenfly on my roses, then noticed the same brown aphids yesterday. so annoying. Luckily, we have had some ladybirds dotted around.

I'l try an eco-friendly spray ... not into chemical ones! Thanks for the comments . . .

Hi Shirley thanks for the message - yes my Golden Showers does look like this. I will keep an eye out for aphids!

Ha ha, Rachelsmum, there's a blog about this Rose too, shows it from bud to bloom and finish. No more Aphids, I think the heavy rain saw them off!
