Question

We recently planted Easy Elegance Kashmir roses and several buds are missing. Do animals eat rose buds and flowers?

Answer

Missing flower buds can be a sign of hungry deer or rabbits. To help protect your Kashmir Roses from further damage, look for a deer repellent product at your local garden center. Before opening and spraying, read the directions. Deer repellent products work because they smell bad. You’ll want to be careful that you don’t get any of the product on your or your clothes.
