Any general purpose spray will do, but it should be on a regular basis.. say (depending on the infestation) every third day till the pests are completely removed, dont forget to spray on nearby plants, walls and pots..

The spray must be on well watered plants and in the evening only..

Regent is not meant for Aphids its for Borers.if you want Bayer product then try Confidor.but i use Welcon Action(imida cleopard).its result ie very good & its not that much costly because its available in small packing of 100 Gms.please do not spray Regent for this purpose.

Last year you has advised to flood my beds with Regent due to termites. I remember that after that I have had no problems with any insects including ants. I think Regent works quite broadly. Phew! Glad the bushes are safe for now. Roses are really Nakhrey Waley plants but worth it in the end I guess :D
