Design Discussion
Even though
roses are a favorite food of deer, many people long for roses in their
garden. To help satisfy our customer’s desire for roses, we have designed
a rose garden that surrounds the roses with plants that work as deer deterrents.
The deer hate these plants so much, they frequently go out of their way
to avoid them.
In addition, if you plant Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose, also called beach
rose or plum rose) the deer will be less attracted to the roses.
Nevertheless,
we strongly recommend that you use hot pepper wax and coyote urine as
deterrents on the roses in this design. While the deer deterrent plants
planted around the roses will help keep the deer away, roses are nevertheless
a favorite food of deer. If hungry enough, they may very well still come
after your roses.
