Hi all
I don't know how to get rid of a pesky bug that is growing on the stems, leaves, and flowers of my roses. I live in zone 9 and it has been usually warm and dry. This bug is very tiny and makes a type of web around the leaves and I am constantly trimming back the leaves but I think it is on the stems too. If you could tell me what I could do to get rid of them it would help. Thank you very much.

sounds like spider mites. Soapy water is what I've hear to use on those but I've never heard of them being on roses.

Are these outdoor roses?

Sorry I should have listed this under bug problems. But the roses are in a screened in porch and have lots of sunlight. I live in an apartment.
