Answer #1 · Chason Arthur's Answer · Most likely, your riverbirch and roses are infested by aphids.
Fortunately, aphids aren't to difficult to control. You can use any product containing Neem Oil or Malathion to eliminate aphids. Alternatively or additionally, you can purhcase bulk quantities of live lady bugs and release them. Aphids are a staple in the lady bug diet.
