one more for the garden

We have a small rose garden filled with different varieties of roses. My husband loves looking at the roses and I really think he’s more obsessed with them than I am! I do a lot of deadheading and fertilizing, etc but lately, I noticed some of the leaves have been eaten, some with just holes, some were completely eaten! I thought they were just snails but I did not find any slimy trails. I left it a few days and the roses were starting to really deteriorate. I looked more closely and noticed these light green little bugs under the leaves! I think they’re aphids! We found a ladybug and placed it on a bud infested with aphids and whoa! watch that lady [bug] kill/eat ‘em all! I think we’re gonna get more ladybugs…
