More blooms

My favorite rose plant, has been with me for more than 10 years. I transplanted it in the ground a year ago.

I took a cutting from the plant above and stuck it in the ground. It took a long time to sprout and so far it has bloomed 3 roses. This plant is 1.5 years old.

Some blooms from our garden... Have a great weekend.

Happy bloom day!

It's been gray and dreary in Southern California, raining on and off. We haven't seen sun in days now. These beautiful blooms cheer me up.

Roses

I have 4 rose plants in my backyard, 2 red, 1 peach and 1 white color. What's happening for the past couple of months is, something is eating my rose plants. I sprayed a solution containing chili powder, garlic and salt which is supposed to be one of the non-chemical ways to protect a plant but alas! it didn't work. Just look at this plant, you cannot even see the plant, it's completely gone.

This plant bearing red roses has been with me for the past 10 years. It was in a pot all these years, I transplanted it on the ground few months ago. Beautiful red roses, huh?

You can see clearly that the leaves have tons of holes in them. What could be eating the plants?
