Finally I solved the problem!
I've spent a fortune on Merit to kill the grubs. I have bordering neighbors who do nothing and my roses, vegetables and flowering shrubs attract J. Beetles like mad. I finally invested in hoops and insect netting. I cover just after pollination and leave insect row cover on berries, vegetables, tomato vines and float/drape over rose bushes. A feww little vermin get in under the cloth but don't do the damage of the army I keep off with the cover. Without the cover, my roses are defoliated. I hate the little b*******!
