That's cool about the Deer... where I work I often have a few deer gazing at me from about 8 feet away as I go out and walk to my car in the evenings. On the rose front though, we grow roses too; I always spray them with Orthenex to keep the aphids from eating them (as we don't use them in salads or anything ourselves). I wonder if that would be enough to make the deer sick to their stomachs hence forth not finding your rose garden a suitable dinner plate...?
