OP Mrs.Bradley Member Joined: Mar 2006 oregon coast	while watering mt roses yesterday I noticed very tiny "worms"? in the soil of one of them. could it possibly be babies of a tiny caterpillar???? a couple of weeks ago I found eggs of something on the underside of a leaf on a different rose plant and destroyed it,maybe I didn't see this one and theyve hatched? how do I kill 'em??
