Customer Question – Unidentified Beetle?
Q. “Hello, I have discovered what I think are beetles on my roses and wondering if there is an organic action I could take to manage that. Pictures attached. Thanks and have a great day!” Antonio
A. Thanks for the message and these look like pollen beetles, which are not classified as a pest (they will not harm the flowers), so there is nothing to control them. They are particularly attracted to yellow flowers. I hope this helps and puts your mind at rest. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener
