You just don't have hungry enough deer yet. There isn't a single rose

that'll keep them away permanantly.
The Harrison's Yellow rose and the Rosa Rugosta are very thorny. Much more
thorny than tea roses. If the deer tried to eat them they would get a mouth
full of thorns.

We have one rose that thinks it's a dagger factory, you can slice
yourself but good if you're not VERY careful, and that doesn't stop
the Starving Attack Rabbits from climbing on it trying to get at the
blossoms. Had to put rabbit-proof fence around it til it got tall
enough that most of the bush is out of their reach.
