Notes:
Roses are 6 years old, never had a problem with anything other than thorns when I prune them. This year all of a sudden the leaves disappeared within 4 weeks to being almost naked. I decided to cut them back thinking whatever it was had left but when I turned the good leaves over on the branch I found WORMS. Never seen so many. One bush had what looked like a webworm netting on the lower branches and I included it in the pictures. What are they and will they be back?

Not sure what particular insect that is but Sevin dust will take care of most pests. Maybe snip off one of the small limbs with the insects, place into a ziploc bag and take to garden center near you for a more definitive answer on creature and cure. Knockout roses are more tolerant than the hybrid or tea roses. Don’t panic, just do some research and you will know how to deal with future problems as well. Good luck.

Tiny whitish worms are eating my knockout roses. The leaves look like lace work and they are infested. They are so tiny one can miss them if not looking very closely. Please help. This is my first venture into roses and i dont know what to do.

I have cut those roses back to 12 in. high, spray insecticide around the base and on the trunks and they have returned for the past 3 years

I cut my roses down to 12 inches from the ground, sprayed with insecticide around the ground below the roses and on the limbs themselves. They have not failed to return each year for 3 years now.

I cut mine down to a foot from the ground with no harm. They came back fine

My aunt has some knockout roses that have been ruined by black caterpillars. They have eaten the leaves and there is nothing left but stems. Can I prune the plants back about 6 to 8 inches tall?
