Just recently I've notice this on several roses in my garden; these distinctive circular and semi-circular holes in the leaves. I'm sure someone here knows who the culprit is but it's a new one for me. Please help! :)
Thanks,
Deb
What's eating circular holes in rose leaves?
leaf cutting bees. They are very hard to deter. You might try neem oil.
Thank you, Vestia. I looked them up. Yes, the jury seems to be out on Neem effectivness. Looks like covering those roses with netting or cheesecloth is about the only thing that's known to work. If it gets bad enough, I may try that since they seem to have a limited season during which they cut the leaves.
Much appreciated!
Deb
