What will eat the rose buds and blooms?

The most likely culprits that will eat rose buds and blooms are insects such as aphids, thrips, beetles, and caterpillars. These pests are attracted to the tender foliage and flowers of roses, and they can cause significant damage if left unchecked. To protect your rose bushes, consider using insecticidal soaps, neem oil, or introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs or lacewings to control the pest population. Regular monitoring and early intervention are key to preserving the beauty of your roses.
