Last fall a doe found a way into the house pad garden through a break in the deer fence at the top of the slope and deer pruned most of the roses in the house pad garden. Once I got that repaired, she found a way to jump the fence at the top of vinca slope at the front of the house to get to finish pruning the house pad garden, but first she chomped the street bed rose.
When I made that fence taller, she ate her way up the vinca slope, which is almost vertical ... and made a hole under the fence and chomped the rest of the deer candy she found up there and finished off all of the other deer resistant plants out in front of the house before she moved on.
There was not much left for the deer this year and all of the possible enetry points were blocked. So, I got to start over. The plants got a harder prune than I have ever given them, and really looked good, so she may not have known how to prune according to the "rules", but she did a fine job of pruning.
