: My roses have little white spots on them. I don't know how to get rid of them and I don't know if that's causing them not to be as healthy.

Hi Jessica,

If you move the plants and the white spots take to the air, then you have white fly. If they don't move unless you touch them and they look fuzzy, they you might have mealy bugs. Take a look at this site.
