Unfortunately, the aphids have to go, a water hose works, but they come back so You have to keep spraying them.

If you can get some peppermint oil and a spray bottle with some water -- they don't like that at all -- a bit less water spent on spraying them

I have peppermint oil that I spray on the dogs. I will try it on my Rose of Sharon plants, the aphids love them.
