Re: [Rose-list] moles, voles or other critters

I've just broken up my plant pile and found that mice had done a number on many of my
plants - apparently potting soil is good for tunnels.  I know it was mice because I
saw them.  Some of my hybrid teas are dead - not surprising since some pots were
emptied of almost everything but roots.  Perhaps you've been visited by their
relatives?  Next year, I'll be lacing the pile with mouse bait.
