Tucker, I've been browsing through my gardening books and I'm almost certain that my rose bush isn't a multi-flora. My rose bush would have lots of flowers if it wasn't for these pesky green worms burrowing into the buds. Comparing the one half-chewed rose that did bloom to the roses in the book, it looks like an old garden rose very similar to Comte de Chambord.

I've consulted my gardening friends, but nobody else seems to have encountered this problem. If anybody has any ideas, I'm willing to try them because I'd sure like to see this bush in bloom.

Kat, I've heard about the beer cure although I thought it was for slugs. I think the dish has to be buried so that the lip is level with the soil and the slugs/snails who are attracted by the smell can fall into it. I hate killing things in the garden, even by accident, but slugs are such revolting creatures, primeval slime!

And Tucker, I can't wait to hear that song!
