the soapy water works well.but look for ants they will farm aphids,they will move the eggs of the aphids around the plant,for the honeydew they produce .

Use Safer's insecticidal soap. Hand pick the devils off by snipping small twigs in which there is a clump. Round up some ladybugs because aphids are their favorite meal.

Another thing to try other than 7 dust is Coffee grounds. After brewing your coffee instead of throwing out the grounds, sprinkles them around your rose plant. Very good fertilizer as well :)

Another sort of fun thing you could do is order ladybugs from a catalog (most gardening catalogs carry them) and release them into your garden. They eat the aphids and bring good luck :)

I have used a product called Endall. It is an organic pesticide with oil in it so that is smothers all stages of insects. Good for scale insect especially.

Spray with citrus oil or you can even get some lady bugs from your local garden supply and release them.
