This is from Jerry Baker, America's Master Gardener and it's in his book-Backyard Problem Solver.
Ingredients:
1 orange rind, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon baby shampoo
2 cups water
Directions:
1. Put ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 10-15 seconds. Strain out the pulp into a coffee filter, then pour liquid into a handheld mist sprayer.
2. Get out your hose and blast your roses with a high pressure spray nozzle to dislodge the aphids. Now mist spray the plants and say goodbye to aphids!
