| Hi,
I'm a new rose grower ;-) I'm very excited to all my new adoptions ready to pop with new blooms. Now I am upset to find holes chewed into many of my new buds! Any ideas on what it is and is there a way I can get rid of the little invaders that is non-toxic? I have a inquisitive goofy dog who uses the backyard regularly. (these holes are way too small to have been done by her LOL) Thanks so much! |
