Canadian Wildlife Federation: Question #2 out of 10

Some pesky bug is eating your English roses. How do you get rid of them?

Answer:

A. Hit the hardware store and load up on pesticides. Those bugs will pay, come hell or high water!

B. Mix together an eco-friendly soap and water potion to protect your precious blooms.

C. Pick better posies that aren’t so susceptible to bugs. Because really, this is the third summer in a row your English roses have fallen victim to a pest.

b. Good for you for trying to salvage your annuals without using harsh chemicals! But if you really want to keep bugs in check, choose native plants that naturally resist pests. Don’t be afraid to chat up your local nursery to find out which plants would work best for your garden.

c. Good move! Native plants have grown in Canadian soils for hundreds of years so they are better able to resist pests. Check out our favourite native plants at WildAboutGardening.org and don’t be afraid to chat up your local nursery to find out which plants would work best for your garden.
