What is the best way with Roses?

Has anyone ever heard of using a solution of black tea infused in water to keep aphids away from roses? Is there a simple way to do this?

What is the best way with Roses?
best thing to use is soapy water
Reply:I would try the soapy water mention. If you do try a spray from a gardening store be careful. I almost lost my bluegirl rose bush because the spray was to hard on it.
Reply:if you find out let me know because honestly I fight the battle every year against the aphids and my roses, I usually use some stuff I buy at walmart (same stuff they sell at home improvement stores). It works but I find I have to reappy it every couple of days (especially in the rainy season) and the stuff you fertilize and supposedly protects against pests that you put in the ground next to the plant doesn't seem to help much either (well the fertilizer works well my roses look GREAT as long as I can keep the bugs off). Good luck!!!
Reply:no but have heard about dawn dish liquid and water it works also plant some garlic at the roots of your roses it helps with prevent the lack spots on the blooms. I used about three spoons of dish liquid to gallon water.
