The Nipponese beetle ( Popillia japonica ) causes widespread destruction on garden plants , particularly rose wine , throughout the eastern United States but can be controlled with moderate persistence . The beetles grow as grubs in lawn and turf grasses . They quickly spread as beetles to garden plants . More than 300 plant variety show are susceptible to the Nipponese beetle , but one of their favourite is the rose bush . A lift bush under siege by the Japanese beetle will quickly lose its peak and leave , so killing the plague early is paramount to the rose bush ’s health .
