I suggest taking the rose out of the pot, washing the soil from its roots, and repotting it into brand new potting soil that has no grubs. It should do just fine. Be sure to keep it watered.

I found this article really helpful.
Today l found in my rose pot, these horrible grab worms, the rose is fading away unfortunately… I haven’t even dug deep to find them… You think it’s better to just get rid of the rose?

No. It is safe to use around dogs. Even dogs who eat grubs. 🙂

Great information. Will the use of nematodes or milky spores harm the animals that eat the grubs, more specifically my dogs who eat the grubs

What a fabulous article! Explains how to distinguish between different grubs; and when they are a problem, when not. As per the usual, within an organically functioning balance of the whole, they tend not to be an issue. Also explains how to combat grubs with non-toxic methods – NOT using the omnipresent, terrible neonicotinoids that so many people are not aware of. Thank you for this wonderfully educational and respectful piece of writing.

They might be black soldier fly larvae which are very common in compost piles and bins. I wouldn’t worry one bit about them. They are a decomposer that’s helping process your compost.

My rotating drum-style compost bin is suddenly full of what look like hundreds of bugs! They look more like C-shaped grubs than anything else I’ve see pictured online. The weather is about to turn cold, and they are not menacing a lawn (I don’t actually have a lawn; it’s almost all container garden and herb beds.) Do I need to worry about them?
