Key to apterae on Rosa:-
Notes: Blackman & Eastop (2000) provided an illustrated key to aphids on cultivated roses. The present key is considerably extended to cover all Rosa spp. Certain Rubus-feeding aphids such as Matsumuraja spp. may sometimes be found on Rosa but are not included, so if this key does not provide a satisfactory answer, it might be worthwhile to try the key to apterae on Rubus. From couplet 8 onwards, the key cannot be applied to fundatrices. Couplets 20-25 are based partly on Kanturski et al. (2018b).
