- spider mites are small, dark parasites that cobweb and suck juices from the fleshy parts of the bush. The rose fades and stops blooming, the shoots die off. When fighting them, acaricides are used;
- the aphid lays the larvae on the back of the leaf plates. It eats the soft parts of the plant, causing the leaves and shoots to dry out. Soap solution will help against it;
- scale insect, which sucks sap from the soft parts of stems and leaves. A sign of appearance is a stop of flowering and drying of leaf plates. The pest is fought with the help of insecticides, which are purchased in specialized stores.
