Something is eating my roses---help please?

I have a shrub rose in its second summer next to my front porch, and now something is chewing little holes in the leaves. What can I dust it with that is non-toxic to people, because the shrub is only about 4 ft. from where we like to sit on the porch. Is there some sort of home made concoction that I can try? Thanks for any ideas you have.

At first I didn't see any. I had just watered and maybe knocked them off. Then at the bottom I found one curled up just like in the picture.

Now what?
