Awww... what a bummer. Yes, you should get new blooms perhaps in about 5-6 weeks - thereabouts - with plenty of sun and water. You may want to see if you pruned so that new growth will go outward rather than inward toward the center of the plant. I look forward to pics when they all bloom. Which roses did you get?

You did good! Get them in the planters and somewhere where the deer can't get at them. Or get them caged in some way that the deer can't eat them. Either way they should all bloom again for you.

How do I make sure the new growth grows outward?

When you prune young roses it is not always possible to prune the preferred way. The growth is more important right now than where it grows from. In order to get growth to go out ward prune about an 1/8 of an inch above a set of leaves that face outward. The first new growth will usually comes from that point. There could be growth that has begun in other places thou. Anyway with floribundas and other shrubby roses I let it all grow. Then prune out inward growth if it's a problem in spring.

You did good! :-)

Julia Child and Easy Does it are bloom machines! :-)

If the deer have already used them for chow, they'll be back. You shoot one, they won't be back for a long time.

LOL Between the deer eating the roses and the rabbits eating the tomato plant stems I feel like I have no chance! Everything is netted now and not so pretty that way but at least its safe!

Have you ever tried Liquid Fence? It worked great for me for a long time. I would buy the concentrated and mixed in my sprayer bc I have so many roses but you might can use the bottle already mixed. It's so frustrating to get so excited and then they come a chomping. They are a huge nuisance here. Waaaaay toooooo many!!!!

The problem with Liquid Fence is that it has an expiration, and the deer seem to know what it is. If it is good for 30 days, you cannot wait 31 days to reapply.

Deer are the reason we cannot have nice things in our garden in the Texas Hill Country. We have 3 species running wild in our protected area. Among the 3 they eat all the really nice stuff like it was candy.

Towandazz, everyone who said they will be back is correct. I had this problem a few months ago. Deer are a big problem here. At Walmart and I'm sure lowes or Home Depot they sale a product named liquid fence, you just spray it on and around your roses And it keeps the deer away. That being said it has worked for me, but you have to make sure you reapply after every rain. Also it stinks something awful for about 12 hours. I'm pretty sure it's coyote piss, or cougar piss. It is definitly some kind of predator pee. For me the smell is worth it for the 12 hours so I can look outside and see my beautiful blooms instead of a deer eaten twig ;( I also threw a few bars of Irish spring soap in my bed for good measure. Good luck!

Hey D.C., you make a Good point, I forgot about the expiration. I've been reapplying mine like clockwork every time it rains, so I haven't run into the 30 days. Since I've stayed consistent it has worked.

It worked wonders for me too Jackie and I use to reapply too but rarely wait for the 31 day. I just sprayed it after a rain too. Just thought I'd give something else to try if they didn't want to mess with cages or netting. I finally put up a fence and luckily it's keeping them out until the mega deer that can jump over it appears then this girl will have to take up shooting lessons.

If you can stand the smell- mix up eggs & garlic in the blender, then let it ferment for a few days. Apply to and around plants- it will keep the deer away! I have intense deer pressure in San Marcos, Tx

The best creature frightening device that we have found is called a Scarcrow, it is a motion activated sprinkler made by Contech. There are others similar devises on the market and they probably work as well. We have used them to protect ponds from herons, and gardens from wild pigs and deer. They are also supposed to work with dogs.

I am going to make the garlic, egg, hot pepper sauce mix and spray that. AND I am considering getting the Scarecrow. However need to be careful where i put it as I dont want to give the neighbors a heart attack when they are going to their cars! LOL

Deer just ate my marigolds( I thought they didnt like those) and my morning glory as well last night. Before that they ate my spider plant that I left outside.

UGH!

Liquid Fence worked as long as I sprayed every other day. It took me 2 hours with a pump type sprayer. The deer even got used to that and it didn't work at all after a few years. The Scare Crow sprinklers didn't work at all. The deer seemed to enjoy the refreshing shower, and of course, it had to be disconnected during cold weather when the pipes were blown out, but the garden still had foliage to offer. I had 7 of those throughout the garden. What a hassle to get them all turned off when I wanted to go in the garden and remember to turn them all on again when I came in the house - several times a day. I tried every deterrent on the market and every homemade concoction. We even had a big dog. None of them kept deer out of my roses. They live on our property. Deer fencing is the only thing that keeps them out. It's worth every penny.

Oh deer! I will be planting some roses in a deer country soon. I am thinking about only growing climbers, ramblers there. I can cage each rose with 6' tall deer fence, when roses are tall, grow out of the cage, deer can't reach them. It would be nice if I could make French tree truck guards with rebars (lined with deer fence)......

Update: I planted 3 roses in the ground and have 7 potted rose trees on a patio in a deer country, deer didn't touch any of them, it has been over a month now. I have about 5-6 shiny ribbons on each rose, about 1-1.5' long, that worked pretty well. Will plant more roses this coming weekend.

The white plastic bags, scarecrow and garlic/egg mixture worked well on my upper level, but I resorted to large cages around each bed on the lower level as spraying that was too time intensive. This past spring I fenced the majority of the perimeter including access to my upper level, only to find they were now entering through my "back forty" where the split-rail seemed to have a welcome mat on it. I'm currently working on fixing that 5' fence to which I'll scab posts to attach chicken wire. Fortunately it's not too visible. Of course, now they'll just entire my parking area and front yard, so I'm not done with the fencing yet. My perimeter fence ended up cheap, but it's hidden by a hedge. I really feel with a lot of roses and little time fencing is the only way. Some people have made a successful one out of metal posts and heavy fishing line. Good luck, summersrhythm. Maybe they won't find you. : )

Thanks! Right now the roses are on one side of the house, on the other side of house there are 9 fruit trees about 150-200' away, I found deer poop ( I think, googled it, still not too sure) under an apple tree. I found this online, I might give it a try when I have more roses in the ground. https://www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/a-deer-fence-of-ribbon-yarn.87337/

That sounds similar to the fishing line idea, but more visible.

I drove by a veggie garden in the countryside once, it had one line fence that had a lot of shiny ribbons on the line. Try the shiny ribbons? It might work for you. I bought mine on ebay. Good luck to you too! I have hawks over there, haven't seen any rabbits in the yard at all, but I have a groundhog's den right next to the house. I am still finding ways to get them out of there.
