IMHO, it sounds like rabbits.
Try growing marigolds, the rabbits where my parents live in Kansas City hate
the taste/smell of them and leave Dad's roses alone when he grows marigolds
around them.

Thanks Murri and Doug.
I seem to be winning the war of the roses. I still don't know who the
culprit is. However, since there are alluring plants right next to the
house that never seem to be touched, I figured that the rose eater
might be shy. So I rigged up some flood lights on the rose bed 3 nights
ago. Voila. no nibbling since. I think I'll add some marigolds too.
