Tiny, green or pink, soft-bodied insects cluster on the leaves and developing buds. Flower buds may be deformed, and the leaves often have curled edges. A shiny or sticky substance usually coats the leaves. A black sooty mold may grow on the sticky substance. Ants may be present.
When you first notice aphids, apply an insecticide labeled for this pest, following label directions.
