Are grubs harmful to roses?

I know they kill the grass.

Grub feedback please!

I'm not aware of the grubs being harmful to roses but the adult insect that hatches out of them may be. Check out link below. Both the Japanese Beetle & the Rose Chafer cited in the link attack the rose, out west they have another beetle, Fuller Beetle I believe, that also attacks roses. You really need to have someone ID the grub to know for sure.

Mauvegirl, I can happily say that since I got rid of my grass, I don't see many grubs. We do get these black beetles here that I occasionally find in roses, but they don't seem to damage the rose - just look ugly, and occasionally I find the white grubs in the beds. I squish them, but I guess there are others that I don't find. These beetles don't come in great numbers like JB's.

The only reason that grubs are harmful to roses is because they turn into beetles...Japanese beetles!!

We use Grub X on the lawn and I have a lot fewer beetles than I used to have.
