Is this RRD
Comments (10)I don't see the option to edit my previous post. I suspect it is bad form to post three times in a row but I have an email reply from the kind people at Mobot, new photos and have nabbed the culprit! It is NOT RRD! I thought it would be best to post a.s.a.p. in case any local folks were worrying. Email: Hello: Roses, flowers and buds, are often damaged by feeding insects. It is usually not possible to identify conclusively the responsible insect solely from feeding signs. Beetles frequently cause bud damage similar to that shown in your examples. Consider the rose curculio as a possibility. It and similar pests can be controlled by spraying with an appropriate insecticide. Thank you for visiting Gardeninghelp. Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Information (jas) So I Googled images of the rose curculio and headed outside with the camera. I took some terrible blurry photos of the tiny larva or caterpillar (not a beetle) that I found inside the 'weeping rosebud' and then clipped it off & put it in a zip-lock for better photographs. It doesn't look like anything I can find so far in my image-Googling, but here it is: The Culprit Exposed Close-up of Markings (cropped) Close-up 1 Close-up 2 Close-up Crop 2 Any idea of what this is? So far my searching returns nothing that looks at all like this and I will feel silly if it is a common and recognizable thing......See MoreBrown Bella Roma Blooms
