Hi! I'm brand new to gardening this year and I'm super excited to share some of the flowers that are beginning to open up and pop up! I had no idea I would love it this much! What do you think of my little baby roses??

The first, and easiest, step you can try is to just blast them off with the hose. Ideally, you will create an environment that is balanced, and birds and beneficials will keep your pests in check, but that takes time.
