A gardener in a high-desert area with abundant rabbits asked if carpet roses are rabbit-resistant, noting rabbits haven't touched regular roses near the house.
Tom stated that rabbits, like deer, will eat almost anything if hungry. He hadn't observed carpet roses being devastated by rabbits in his area but recommended using a rodent repellent spray if nibbling occurs.
Repellent sprays offer a practical deterrent for vulnerable plantings.
