I've given up roses because of JBs - could not bear to go out in the morning and find the buds half devoured. When I had a flock of chickens I enjoyed watching them in the Rose Garden - they made a quick meal and I got revenge.....
But the jbs found new taste treats in my Japanese Maples, the flowering chestnuts, the Orchard...they are my nemesis....
