Gardeners explained how to improve the color of rose flowers and protect the bush from aphids

June is the peak of the growth cycle for many plants. Gardening experts emphasize the importance of adjusting the watering and pruning regimen, as well as implementing pest control measures.

Aphids are particularly problematic. These tiny insects can cause significant damage to roses, according to Express.co.uk.

A quick and easy solution is to mix a few drops of dishwashing detergent with water in a spray bottle. Spray directly onto the affected areas once a week to keep the pests away.
