Stay or Go?

The bold color, the gently unfurling bloom...the rose should stay. But (below) the leaves and flowers are eaten and looking sad with damage from Japanese beetles, slugs, and sawfly larvae. I pick them off to avoid using chemicals, yet it's a lot of work. So the rose should go. Yet I love the bright, cheerful color from the view at the kitchen sink. Okay, it'll stay.
