Roses - companion plants for pest control
The plants suggested here help your roses to ward off pests and disease such as aphids, greenfly and blackfly. Some plants deter the pests via their scent, eg Allium. Others attract beneficial insects like ladybirds that feed on aphids, eg Achillea millefoilum. No need for harmful chemicals, you can control pests and disease in a safe, organic way. Top tip: Leave enough space for your plants to mature and don't overcrowd your roses.
