What's destroying my climbing rose?
By:Babs
Hello. Since coming into new spring growth, my climbing rose has been progressively stripped clean of every new shoot and leaf. The damage occurs at night but not every night. As soon as more new growth starts to appear, the predator is back to strip it off.
I thought it was a possum (very active in my neighbourhood) but there is not a single poo pellet anywhere near the rose. No animal droppings at all. Repellent sprays and netting over the rose didn't help. I'm stumped. Please advise. Thanks, Babs
