small holes in leaves on my rose bushes


Question
Four weeks ago I planted 12 double knock out roses bushes.  This is my first time planting roses.  I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I am noticing that the leaves are getting tiny holes in them.  Should I get some kind of insect spray and start spraying them?  If I should, please tell me what to use.  The leaves and the flowers are very healthy but the holes look awful.  Please advise.

Answer
You are right, the roses are being eaten by some sort insect. There are many spray for insect on roses but you want the type for chewing insects because that type of spry will get rid of the bug when they bite the rose leaves. Just ask the garden centre for a spray for insects that chew on rose leaves, they will know which one to give you. Insects that eat rose leaves are the easiest to get rid of.
