I tried popular pesticide brands in the market but it only burn the blooms or buds and even the leaves. Can you please tell me any organic or any household pesticide substitute for my rose plants?

In a 32 oz spray bottle add 1/4 Tbs of dish soap, 1/4 Tbs light cooking oil like canola and fill with water. Spray once a week until the buggies are gone. Just make sure you spray early in the morning because it can cause sun burn. Neem oil is also a good choice and you can find it at any garden center.

Hmm, the most important thing that would be good to mention is what pest you think you have. Otherwise, we can't help you out! Check out this website, it has all sorts of lovely information about rose pests/diseases. It is from the University of California, Davis, so geared towards Californians, but it works for all over! Once you determine what pest you have, it should have ideas on managing the pest/disease. I did notice it had a lot of info on roses, but you should be able to scan a bit and find what you need! Don't be overwhelmed!! Good luck!

Could be the timing of your spraying, some sprays when used on hot sunny days can magnify suns rays and cause burns
Try spraying in the early morning, usually cooler
Read the label it usually states if this could be a problem
