This is obviously eating my rose leaves, but I'm not sure what kind it is and how to best control it. I had a wonderful display of roses early, but deer, this creature and other aphids have been eating the leaves (either "whole" like this, or in little holes with brown or yellow discoloration). I would appreciate some advice, i've only used rose plant food that I mix with water. This year I also tried a specific rose spray, but I'm not sure it had any real effect (besides I think some deer ate the flowers as I would find petals all over the ground in the morning).
CLOSED: At least one bug that is destroying my rose leaves
This is a larva of a rose sawfly (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), possibly the curled rose sawfly, Allantus cinctus - see http://branchingout.cornell.edu/picturefolder/GRAPHICSCANS/CurlRoseSawflyA.JPG#Photo%20Curled%20Rose%20Sawfly-big
