Tent Worms

Question

I have 3 miniature rose bushes. The tent worms have eaten all the leaves. Are they dead or could I clip them down and start over? They came up from last year. If they’ll come back, how do I get rid of the tent worms?

Answer 1

As long as the roots are still intact and the branches alive, the plant will regrow its leaves. This article should help with the tent worms: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/tent-worms-tent-caterpillar-home-remedy.htm
