Burn or dispose of all fallen leaves and prunings
Feed your rose plants regularly with a rose fertiliser

Message: my roses are covered with little caterpillar like crawlers. They are from 2 to 22cm, in length, blachish in colour, broad low antenna, with 4/5 little yellow tufts on there back, They eat mostly the leaves, but I have found some on the rose buds, not the open flowers. I have tried rose clear, no help. Can you please help.???
