Gloire de Dijon. This is my second bloom on this tiny band. But every time the bloom gets to about this stage... something EATS it. I took this photo yesterday, and today the bloom is totally gone. Like something ate the whole bud and part of the stem right off. >:( I haven't been able to see a mature bloom of it because of this.

This plant is so small that it's buds are very close to the ground, so I think that's why it's a target? Is it rabbits?
