What are the green caterpillars feeding on my roses?

Our Advice:

This sounds like angle shades moths and they will strip the plants if left to carry on feeding. Try spraying with Rose Clear Ultra (Scott's) or Multirose Q4 (Bayer). If you prefer an organic product, try PY Insect Killer (Vitax) but you will need to spray several times
