Thanks, Kell. You are welcome here anytime. Thanks for the info about the Neem and Di-Syston Systemic Insecticide Granules. I've recently discovered the burn that you are talking about with the Bayer, but I didn't put it together until now. Thanks! I have some Neem left over that I got from Logee's a while ago, and I'll start using that more frequently. Maybe I am mistaken about the broad mites. I'll have to do some research to see which ones I have. I probably have all of them! The rose damage looks like this below. It's funny though because I used the Bayer on them recently, and now all the new leaves are showing no damage at all so the Bayer is definitely working -- at least for now.

Michael, I actually pulled them up to make room for my plumies:-) They were too big for the spot that they were in anyway. I took cuttings and will grow them in containers now. Thanks for the Sevin tip. I do have some of that too. The cucumber beetle is also being a pest and eating large chunks of the leaves and laying eggs. And then there are the many, many catepillars! Sigh...
