For aphid control on roses, here is what we use:
Put it all in a spray bottle, mix it up (foaminess is good), spray every day 'til the aphids kick the bucket!
Also, I use the high-powered spray from the hose to knock them off if the roses are still in bud stage.
Or, as a last resort, I put on my garden gloves, crush the little buggers with my fingers (yuk!), then top the roses off with the homemade spray.

I am surprised about using distilled vinegar as this is probably one of the best weed /plant killers you can use.
about using vinigar in spray to kill aphids. will it harm the plant?
Yes it will harm the plant. Vinegar, soap, and canola will kill weeds and grass
I am a little worried about the vinegar since it kills plants.
I have an Autumn Sage very close!!! And I do a bird/butterfly garden too ( when I purchase plants) so will this bother or hurt my hummingbirds because I'm already seeing them on my Sage????
Need ideas for not harmful effects that will hurt my birds too,butalso have dogs......I put pics up so you see what I'm talking about 1st ( not sure on the bug) but in the 2nd pic you can see my Sage and I have already had hummers on it..... So just love my birds, but I don't want bugs taking over and killing my plants!!!!
