I was so happy with the drift roses I bought at Lowe's. I had planted one and two were still in the pots waiting to be planted.

One morning, I saw that one of the potted ones had a nice big bloom that had been chomped off but was left on the ground. I was not happy but I lulled myself into a false sense of security by thinking the thorns on the plant had made the chomper stop. Yeah. Right......

The next morning, all three of the drift roses had been tidily pruned to short stems with some remaining leaves. Not a bloom in sight. If we were back in Ohio, I would suspect a whitetail deer, but here, I think it had to have been a rabbit. There is no evidence that it was a big animal.

My hibiscus were left untouched. I sure hope they stay that way.

Anyway, has anyone had any luck with fending off rabbits -- in a nice way?

I know there are things to buy and sprinkle around, but do they work?

No hasenpfeffer recipes, please.
