Question:They are desert camoflage in color.
When they are eating a rose blosom there are several on each flower. How do I get rid of them?

Answers:
What you have are June bugs which are a type of Japanese beetle. They range in color from near balck, green to tan.
I did some searching and here is the best info I could find on getting rid of them. (I have them too and hate the little buggers!) Good luck

It is time for them. There are spray bottles you attach to your garden hose that will do a good job getting rid of them (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.). It is amazing how many there can be.
Japanese beetles, the bane to rose growers everywhere.
Go to the nearest hardware store or garden center and buy an inexpensive beetletrap, they are a simple little plastic bag that has little scented piece of sponge that attracts them into the bag they fly in and can't fly out. It works wonderfully well and you won't have to spray and poison in your flowers. Nasty little buggers.
