My roses have been outstanding this year and are now preparing to fight off the Japanese beetles. My best defense has always been simply dropping them into soapy water. Does anyone else have any suggestions for warding them off? I usually sacrifice several blooms to the beetles every morning as I cut fresh roses for sharing with friends. RRL
