The rose aphis passes the winter in the egg stage on the stems and dormant buds of the rose bushes, according to A. D. Hop- kins, forest entouKdogist, United States Depaitnient of Agriculture.

At this stage they begin to pro- duce living young, each individual in course of about 20 days producing .'lO to 100 young, which on maturity are either winged or wingless, and in turn either green or pinkish. Thus the tender growth soon becomes crowded with various sizes, colors and shapes of aphides, and, to insure their progeny with an adefiuatc food supply, the wingless mothers migrate to less crowded growth and the winged ones fly to other rose bushes, each starting a colony for herself.
