Are there any home remedies for greenfly on my roses?

Soap Those Greenfly Away.

Many people are reluctant to use pesticides and one old fashioned alternative that works well is to use a solution of washing-up liquid to kill greenfly.
Use a "squirt" of washing up liquid to a bucket of cold water and apply using a fine mist sprayer.
