Anyone have any simple ideas (other than putting a fence around each rose?
Is there some kind of spray?
I'm in Zone 9 (north of San Francisco) and we have deer, skunk, opossum, and
raccoon that come out at night. I don't mind any of them coming around (except
when I found a dead opossum at the bottom of the pool) ...it's just that the
deer are getting to my blooms before I do.
thanks

Some say that hanging bars of soap act as a deer deterrent. Maybe
spraying with Neem Oil would accomplish the same thing.
You can always buy coyote urine - that supposedly does the trick as
well.
If you live in a windy climate, you might try some noisy wind chimes.
As a last resort, you might try putting a TV out there and playing
tapes of Three's Company.
