Replant infested areas with nonsusceptible plants . The hardware cloth cage will not protect the tree against winter injury , so if you plan to use this method , first paint the trunk of the tree with white latex paint . These beetles also attack blackberry , clover , coreopsis , hollyhock , honeysuckle , iris , lilies , and peonies and vegetables such as peas , beans , cantaloupe , corn , and cucumbers . Do not replant with another peony or other plant susceptible to Verticillium sp. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum can cause stem rot on peony as well as on many different herbaceous plants found in the garden . In addition to rain splash and wind , spores can be spread by tools , hands , or clothing . Covering the individual bushes or the entire planting with netting supported by a light frame is the best protection .
