or you can cover the whole setup in darknes to fool them in to thinking their underground and put in cliplings of rose bush or other aphid friendly plants and continue to replace them when the get withered and put aphids on them.

That's an idea! You might have to use two foraging areas, so that the ants and aphids will all move to the new leaves and you can remove the old ones without having to deal with ant and aphid escapees.
I'm not sure if darkness has anything to do with their foraging behavior; it probably has more to do with humidity.
Aphids eat sap, so if you were to offer trimmings of a plant, you would have to keep one end of them in water, to aid circulation.
