| | The larvae of rose leafhoppers are cream coloured. Rose leafhoppers and their larvae pierce the leaf tissue and suck plant juices from the underside of rose petals. The rose plants initially show a fine, white and yellow mottling on the leaves. Rose leafhoppers usually start sucking along the leaf veins and later spread out onto the whole leaf. After a while the leaves of infected plants are densely dotted with numerous pale stains and they then wither and fall off. Similar damage is caused by spider mites. For spider mite infestation, the evidence is the lack of Rose leafhopper and their missing larvae on the leaves’ undersides. | | |
| | Adult rose leafhoppers fly away when disturbed, while the nymphs make long jumps to escape. Rose leafhoppers reproduce twice a year., They can breed especially well in warm summer weather. The eggs of the second generation overwinter in the bark of the sprouts of roses. The larvae, hatch in the spring and possess only rudimentary wings. The adult cicadas (fully developed and equipped with wings) move to their summer host plants in June, as well as to plants of the genus Capsicum. From mid-August to September, the females migrate back to the roses to store their eggs in the bark, which then overwinter. | | |
| | Assassin bugs, ground beetles, predatory mites and spiders are natural enemies of rose leafhoppers. The rose leafhopper can be a serious problem in enclosed spaces if its natural enemies are absent. | | |
