Ron, in a million years I would never have thought of deer enjoying roses! I presume from your message that they leave your garden alone...? This would be because you live in a built-up area? I belong to a rose group most of whom live in greater L.A. They each grow from 75 to 400 roses in their own back/front/side yards. In fact, if they could live in the car, and knock down their houses in order to create more space, I believe that they would. And, of course, all of them live in residential neighborhoods. No one has a deer problem. Their chief complaint seems to be a neighbor problem. People help themselves to roses that are growing near the street -- they don't realize that the roses are grown for competition purposes, and what gets stolen might have been intended for a major contest . . .
