Climbing Rose Blooming But No Leaves: Animal Ate Them

PNW, extremely wet. Climber blooming but very few leaves—none on ground. Didn't fall off.

No Leaves on Ground = Eaten

Insects would be visible. Deer (clean job), rabbits (lower), squirrels all eat rose leaves.

Identify local animals that reach the foliage. That's your culprit. Fencing or repellents needed.
