Poor little rose

This is all that is left on my small rosebush. The deer seem to have eaten the rest of the flowers and leaves.

Ahh... poor thing. Those deer are pesky, aren't they? I spray my flowers and shrubs with a substance that doesn't harm the deer and that seems to work, even with next door neighbors who feed the deer. Pretty lighting and bokeh in this image.

@365karly1 Thank you Karly. The deer are pesky little creatures. LOL I have some not harmful spray to keep critters away but hadn't thought to use it recently.

Great shot of this battered rose...It sounds like the deer like your roses.

[Mickey Anderson]

Yes, our last bloom just left!! :-(

Awesome picture.

Lovely detail. Great colour pop!

[carol white]

Lovely, if rather bedraggled

[Margaret Brown]

A lovely colour and focus!

[Cindy McFarland]

Mine look the same way. Kinda sad to see their beauty come to an end. But, there's always next year! Great capture.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So lonely !! but still a beautiful colour

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of this lovely, beautiful rose.
(The ``nasty`` weather is only temporary.)

It has seen better days but it is still bravely showing it's true color. Nice capture.

[Babs]

The last one standing.

[Suzanne]

Oh poor rose, but wow Marilyn, you get deer in your garden?

[photogq]

yes, poor little rose but still so pretty.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautifully captured

Your rose is a survivor and still looks pretty. our rosebush had a lot of flowers on, but the cold weather, frost in the morning killed them all.

[KWind]

Nice colour and texture.

[Taffy]

Oh dear, the deer...perhaps it happened early enough that more will grow?

[Dione Giorgio]

Oh dear, dear how unfortunate to have those deers eating up your rose bush. I hope it will survive.

[Merrelyn]

It looks rather forlorn.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Jennifer]

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Lovely shot

[Marcy]

Such a lovely burst of color

[Jenfurj]

I like the textures and convulsions in the petals. Hopefully it will come back stronger next year.

At first I thought you were here to photograph my rose bush.
