Thrips

Thrips will nibble around the edges of petals and carve out sections of tightly furled rose buds.

It is often the damage that is noticed before the insect and by this time it is too late. Control is difficult and as with every thing prevention is better than cure. A regular spraying programme with a systemic chemical should prevent this little insect from making too much of a nuisance of himself.
