Observations on the aphid number were carried out in the years 2001–2003, simultaneously in four different sites. In each of these three shrubs were marked: of park rose ‘Grandhotel’, rugosa rose, multiflorous rose and five shrubs of border roses of various cultivars. The purpose of these study was to conduct a quantitative analysis of the aphid fauna colonizing roses growing in various types of city green areas. As a result of studies conducted the occurrence of 10 aphid species was found out on the analyzed shrubs. No significant differences were observed in the species composition of aphids colonizing roses growing in various types of city green areas. The studies showed significant differences in the aphid number between the analyzed sites. The road and street sites on the one hand and the road and housing estate ones on the other were most similar regarding the number of aphids.
