Frequently asked gardening related questions
Several insects lay eggs on rose leaves. The rose slug sawfly lays its eggs within the leaf tissue, causing characteristic blisters. Aphids lay tiny eggs on stems and leaves, especially in autumn. Spider mites lay almost microscopic eggs on the undersides of leaves. Rose leafhoppers also lay eggs on the undersides of leaves, and their feeding causes a mottled or stippled appearance. Regular inspection, particularly of new growth and leaf undersides, can help detect eggs and young pests early.
