please help me id this worm...
Comments (11)I get several varieties too. Last summer I spent several months collecting and killing rose slugs and budworms. Have no idea which are which, I have ones dark green, sage green color and a tomato green. At least the pics I sent Baldo were ID'd as budworms. Had a big problem in CA last year, LA area down south and in the north. Mine definetly ate the buds, I could handle leaf damage, but I started going out twice a day collecting the caterpillars and feeding them to the toads. I put out houses for them and throw the worm down on the ground by their pot and knock on the top to get their attention. My SIL was very amused by this. I found it more satisfying that squishing them:) If I hunt I might be able to come up with a better pic. I don't have any mature trees, mine are all only a couple years old. The neighbors don't have any trees at all yet. So, I think I can definitely rule out the cankerworm. If some of them are hover fly larvae, I can't tell the difference and I'm not going to give them a chance to eat the buds and disappear....See MoreAnother rose id question please, beautiful pink cascading roses
Comments (21)Well, I don't know. I looked at both those roses on Help Me Find and I guess it could be. Maybe there was something about the way this GW member grew this rose or pruned it that gave it a little different look to it. And the color of the rose on the arbor seems a little coral to me, but that could just be the camera or the light. Thanks for the help. :-)...See MoreWhat are these green worms eating my roses?
Comments (10)Have you seen any worms on yours, boncrow66? Since I've had this problem in previous years without seeing any, I figured it was something tiny or a night feeder and was surprised to actually see of few of them this weekend. I googled green worms on roses before I posted, but really couldn't tell...maybe tobacco budworms...I grow a lot of nicotiana. I always have bug holes in the leaves of my flowers...nicotiana, cleome, angel's trumpet, coneflower, milkweed, etc, but holes in leaves really don't bother me...would prefer bugs/worms don't eat my rose buds, though....See Moremini rose ID please :-)
Comments (6)Well thank you very much, phil_schorr. Very kind. I have looked and looked at pictures and haven't found a thing. Always the opposite dark on the outside petals and lighter on the inside. I noticed there are a lot more miniature roses than I ever imagined! I only have 10. All but Tiddly Winks are doing rather well. I transplanted the "ones with no name" 2 days ago. There were really four plants. 3 out of the 4 are going to make it for sure. There is some transplant shock but they are already bouncing back. It really is a very beautiful rose, bloom and foliage. Thanks! Allison...See Morekoimiss
