Hi Annie,
Thank you so much for your reply. I looked up Flea beetles and although these are not hard like I thought beetles are (these are soft, as I squash them) there is one called Apthona Flava which really looks the same. I wasn’t sure if they are even found in Australia but I will definitely try to get the things you have suggested to try to eradicate the little buggers. There are thousands of them!! They don’t touch the leaves at all, just the flowers but anything is worth trying.
I live a fair way from the nearest big town so it might be a little while before I can get them if our closest town doesn’t have it, but I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you so much for your help, I really hope this is the year I can get rid of them and get to enjoy my roses.
