Notes: Abstract: Rose Soft Scale, Rhodococcus perornatus (Cockerell & Parrott) (Hemiptera: Coccidae), is the most important pest on oil-bearing roses in Isparta, Turkey. Rose Soft Scale and its natural enemies were studied during 2006 and 2007 in Isparta. According to our observations, substantially all oil-bearing rose orchards in the region were infested by R. perornatus. During this study, two predators (Anthribus fasciatus Forster (Col.: Anthribidae) and Exochomus quadripustulatus L. (Col.: Coccinellidae)) and three parasitoids (Hym.: Encyrtidae) (Metaphycus melanostomatus Timberlake, M. silvestrii Sugonjaev and Microterys bellae) were identified.
