Rose Bush Pest Problem


Question
Something is stripping all of the leaves off my rosebush.  The blooms so far are not harmed but just about all of the leaves have disappeared in just about a week's time.

Thank you,
Lou

Answer
If the outline or the veins of the leaves are let then it is a caterpillar or even an insect. But if all the leaves are gone then it is usually an animal. If the leaves are gone past 3 feet then it could be a deer  lower than 2 feet a rabbit. It depends on where you garden and what type of wild animals you have there. Spraying with Windex or watered down ammonia seems to discourage animals.
