Mites are tiny arachnids that can be a serious pest for rose crops. The most common type of mite that infests roses is the two-spotted spider mite. These mites are very small, and they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Mites pierce the leaves of roses with their mouthparts to feed on the sap. This feeding activity causes small, yellow or white speckles to appear on the upper surface of the leaves. As the infestation worsens, the leaves may turn bronzed or grayish-green, and webbing may become visible on the undersides of the leaves.
