Answer 1

The White insects you can get rid of by spraying them with a mild solution of dish soap and water. Just get a 32oz spray bottle, add one teaspoon of dish soap, one teaspoon of light cooking oil, and fill with water. Spray very early in the morning to avoid sunburn on the rose leaves. This will kill the Aphids.

Phalalenopsis: I'm not sure what could be going on with your Phal. I grow Phalaenopsis and haven't had any trouble. One thing you can try is once you phal has lost its bloom then repot it in an orchid bark mix, place it in indirect light, and water in when the bark is completely dry. This would completely depend on humidity. I usually have to water once a week. Also, don't use tap water. Use rain or distilled water to water your orchids.

Good Luck

Black roses have not been bred yet, as reported they are the two sprayed on the florist or dyed. There are some very darkish black reds alongside with 'Taboo' yet thats as black because it gets certainly. in case you grew a rose from seed it does no longer flower authentic to form, you would be extra suitable to enhance from reducing to get the authentic shade of the determine plant. the 1st individual to enhance a black rose will make hundreds of thousands. the ideal thank you to enhance roses is to purchase them while they are dormant in wintry climate and plant into waiting floor (a lot of manures & compost). they improve their roots and shoot of in spring.
