Wilting Rose Flowers and Thrip Damage

 Q. I am attaching 2 pictures of my rose. One wilts over even though it is getting watered regularly. It does get the morning sun In Pahrump.  My other roses do not do that. Any information you can give me will be appreciated.


I dont know if this is thrips damage or not but it is common on roses in the spring and it does look like this.

A. I think this is thrips damage to the flowers and probably Western Flower Thrips. Try an insecticide containing Spinosad for control. I think your roses have the very small insect called Western flower thrips. Very common now to see thrips on roses. Spray and contain them before they spread to other flowers.
