I've heard that garlic is good at keeping bugs away when planted in the rose garden.

I'd also read that plants such as Society Garlic repelled aphids, etc. Didn't do it in MY garden! It did, however, provide a very suitable home for snails. Garlic is effective if sprayed on your roses. It will repel as well as kill soft bodied insects.

I've tried both garlic and chives, but I took them out (which wasn't easy!) because everytime I brushed against them working around the roses they released a bunch of oniony garlic smell. When I work in the roses I want to smell THE ROSES!

I removed all but a few of the garlic this year as it was taking over the rose bed and whether or not it made any difference time will tell.
