ABSTRACT

The studies were conducted in the years 2001-2003 in four sites of the green area of Lublin. The following roses were chosen in each site: park rose ‘Grandhotel’ cv., border roses of various cultivars, rugosa rose and multiflorous rose. The purpose of the studies was to establish and compare the species composition and the aphids number colonizing roses which belong to different utility groups. Ten aphid species were found as a result of the studies. The presence of 9 species was observed on park rose ‘Grandhotel’, 7 species – on border rose of various cultivars, 5 species – on rugosa rose and 4 species – on multiflorous rose. The presence of Macrosiphum rosae and Metopolophium dirhodum was observed in each studied year on roses from each group. The highest number of aphids was observed on rugosa rose, and the lowest on multiflorous rose. Aphid Chaetosiphon tetrarhodus dominated on rugosa rose, while M. rosae – on the other roses. Park rose was most willingly colonized by aphid species, while multiflorous rose was the least attractive as the host plant.

Key words: aphids, species composition, ontogenetic domination, species co-existence, roses (park rose ‘Grandhotel’ cv., rugosa rose, multiflorous, border roses).
