Can I use Orthonex?

The Orchid books I've read thus far recommend treatment for most insects with orthene. The only orthene I can find is an ant killer. Does anyone know if Orthonex is safe. The label only sites Roses, some other non-orchid and decorative plants. TIA, Lisa

I have done some research for you Orthonex is for Roses.

It can also be used on orchids please see the link.
