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.
Spray both sides of the leaves until run off.Do this in evening,when the sun is off the bushes to prevent scorch.
