It is the most dangerous time of year.
Home Depot has a sale right now - 50% off trees and shrubs, including roses.
I was good. I walked by them all.
Until I walked by this pretty, compact, "Coretta Scott King" rose (which I think was mis-labled - the blooms look nothing like the internet pictures.)
I got it home. Planted it carefully in one of the few area open that I could.
Fertilized it, fussed over it and enjoyed it.
Woke up this morning, and looked out my kitchen window to admire my pretty rose.
No roses.
3 days.
3 days and the deer came through and ate every single bud off the bush. Open ones, closed ones, all of the buds are gone.
Deer. One reason why we can't have nice things.
