Pests on rose
My potted rose plans have few small insects (Attached in the pic) in the soil and also I see small webs in the leaves. The leaves have fallen off the stem when I tried to clean up the web. Is my plant infected? Are there any pesticides/home remedies which could help?
Thanks for your time

It seems like your rose has got spider mites.
You can remove any pests with a soap treatment.
Start with rinsing off the plant with a relatively harsh stream of water in order to wash off most of the pests. Then you can make the soap treatment by mixing 1-2 tbsp of ordinary dish soap (green or yellow soap) and 2 ml of denatured ethanol with 1 litre of water.
Never spray your plants while exposed to direct sunligt as it might cause burns. Repeat the treatment over a week with a 1-2 day gap.
