Use Safer rose spray for aphids. Non toxic. OR just hit them with a strong jet of water. Knocks them right off the plant and they die. ORRRR, wait for the lady beatles to show up but, usually, there is a lag time before they get going. Birds, especially bush tits love aphids. Be patient. ORRRRRRRRRR, as a last resort, you can spray the little buggers with a poison. Of course thats my very last choice.
