Washing up liquid diluted in a spray bottle, leave for a couple of minutes and then hose off.

Plant a clove of Garlic alongside the rosebush.....it will put into the compost/soil a 'chemical' which when absorbed by the rose bush will ward-off greenfly.....and as a reward you'll grow a full bulb of garlic to use in the kitchen.

a quick remedy is to spray it with weak soapy water - might do the trick 'till the garlic gets going
