I am growing a rose plant in a pot and i brought it inside for the winter. Since it's been inside it has been under constant attack by aphids and these wormy-millipedie things. What can i do to keep the bugs off and help my plant survive the winter indoors.

Reynwater said "Dysiston" which I also think works good. But also change the soil. When I bring in my plants for the winter I spray them and change the soil.

i'm unsure precisely what form of insect they're, yet you will desire to attempt a pair of all purpose issues. First, purchase some new potting soil and repot the flowers, washing the pots nicely with soapy water in the previous putting the flowers lower back in. Then verify the flowers in a week or so which you will desire to make certain in the event that they're nevertheless infested. At that factor, try an utility of safer cleansing soap (purchase it at any homestead shop, low value shop or backyard center) utilized to the leaves and around the ideal of the soil. that would desire to guard them. Reapply as needed. additionally, be sure you hold any infested flowers quarantined from sparkling flowers so which you do not exacerbate your concern!

Dysiston is an excellent systemic pesticide. Available at garden shops. Stinky, but killz kritters! Or you can use the good old soapy water spray thing to kill aphids....I managed to kill a chrisanthemum with dish soap.

There are all sorts of natural pesticide methods to take care of this, but I'm afraid none of them will work terribly well for you (your best shot is to try insecticidal soap). In my experiences, the only thing that has worked for me is systemic pesticide. It is smelly and toxic, but it works.
Next year, try treating the plants you are bringing in with systemic pesticide a couple of weeks before you bring them inside. Be careful with it around pets!
-Good luck
