Hi I am a new rose mom but am a long time vegetable gardener. I use insecticidal soap on my plants to stop insects from chewing holes in the leaves. I have seen some aphids on my roses and squish them when I see them but my vision isn't perfect so afraid I am missing some. Would it be safe to spray the insecticidal soap (safers brand) on my roses?

Marking it as NSFW, because of the dead body.

Yes I am a bit crazy. This is my 3rd year gardening but my second year growing from seed (i do buy a few things here and there). I use growing bags and I am poor so top soil with shake and feed fertilizer mixed in plus fertilized every week (including when seedlings) and they turn out very nice. I am in 5b (Canadian maritimes) and am jealous as there are at least 2 more weeks to go until planting outside. I am growing 3 seedlings of each type but will only be keeping 2 of each for myself and a few others will go to others.

Have you grown any of these before? I have only grown Scotia and Honeydrop before (I like trying new things)
