Discover the unsettling sight of a thriving colony of Macrosiphum rosae, or rose aphids, feasting on a delicate rose bud in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. These tiny, pear-shaped pests, with their cornicle tubes extended, exude a sticky honeydew substance that coats the rose leaves, attracting sooty mold and other unwanted visitors. Once established, they can cause significant damage to the plant, curling and distorting the foliage and impeding growth. Keep a keen eye out for these unwelcome guests in your garden, especially during the warmer months.
