Kerry’s Garden

Ouch! This Paul’s Himalayan Musk rose cane and a couple of others just like it have been topped by one of our local, and getting braver by the day, deer. The picture is on the fuzzy side but look at those thorns for goodness sake! They are huge and red to boot. Isn’t red the color of ‘danger! warning!’? What kind of mouth does that animal have that he/she can top these bad boys? I am afraid to get within a few feet of this rose, a few yards during a windy day. I can’t imagine those thorns felt very good going down.
