ABSTRACT

The studies dealing with the species composition and the population dynamics of aphids were conducted in Lublin in the years 2002-2004. They included two rose species – Rosa caninaL. and Rosa rugosa Thunb., growing in two sites: a street one and a park one. The purpose of the present paper was to establish the species composition and the population dynamics of aphids preying on those plants. Six aphid species were observed on R. canina shrubs, and three species – on R. rugosa shrubs. The dominating species on R. canina shrubs was Macrosiphum rosae L., while the presence of Chaetosiphon tetrahordus Walk. was found on R. rugosa. More aphids colonized the shrubs growing in the street sites as compared to the park site. Particular aphid species colonized most plant parts on the shrubs of R. canina and R. rugosa.

Key words: aphids, Rosa canina, Rosa rugosa, species composition, population dynamics.
