Probably the same critters that are eating my hibiscus..haven't seem to bother the roses yet. There was a post a while back on the Organic Forum that I've linked to below that has some great info..

Here is a link that might be useful: Rose leaf damage

Kaye, I looked at the post, but I don't see any green worms. They could be there, and I just don't see them. What ever it is I am going to try the insecticidal soap that people talked about in the post. I have a degree in science and I know how bad some chemicals can be. I hope the soap works.
Thanks for your response. Have a great day!

How frustrating. I wonder if there could be something munching on it at night. Hopefully, the insecticidal soap will take care of it whatever it is. If not, you may want to go out after dark with a flashlight to see if you can see anything.

If the rose leaves are "skelatonized" where the veins are left behind then it sounds like Japanese Beetles. They love roses. The leaves will look like lace after being eaten with all of the green gone. If it is JB, then insecticidal soap will have no effect on them. That only works on soft bugs such as aphids, lacebugs, mealybugs. Organic methods of killing JB would be something strong like pyrethrins or neem oil. Grub control is also very important. There is a parasite of grubs called "milky spore" that eats the grubs and spreads through the soil to infect other grubs. It may take a few years to have very good control with this. Perhaps a multi-stage effort to kill out as many adult beetles as possible and also work on the grubs. Good luck!

Christie, I am going out tonight with a flashlight to see if I can find the critters. My neighbors think I am a little nutty anyway. I am the only person with flower gardens in my neighborhood. Anyway, Pauln, it doesn't look like JB, but thanks for the knowledge. Now I know what to look for when my leaves are skelatonized. I hope the soap works or the insects leave.
Thanks
Ann
