Hi All,

I transplanted my rose bush to a sunnier location this spring. It worked
wonderfully I have had several buds form. Right about the time they will
open they dissapear. Once a few pieces were left behind. Nothing else of
the rose bush is touched. Also none of my other flowers are touched.

I have rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks and birds. I was wondering which might
be doing this, and if there is something I can put on the bush to stop
this from happening? DOes anyone have any ideas?
-Margaret

Dear Margaret,

You didn't mention whether you have deer in your area. They would be my
guess. Weeks Roses suggests sprinkling blood meal around the roses.

I didn't mention it, since I am lucky enough not to have them. I can try the
od meal if it works for other critters. I'll check out that site when I get home.
