Rose - Disease and Pests

PESTS AND DISEASES
Healthy roses which are pruned correctly and correctly fed are less likely to suffer damage from pests and diseases. The first steps in disease prevention therefore are:

Buy healthy roses from reputable suppliers
Burn or dispose of all fallen leaves and prunings
Feed your rose plants regularly with a rose fertiliser

Message: my roses are covered with little caterpillar like crawlers. They are from 2 to 22cm, in length, blachish in colour, broad low antenna, with 4/5 little yellow tufts on there back, They eat mostly the leaves, but I have found some on the rose buds, not the open flowers. I have tried rose clear, no help. Can you please help.???
