Voles, Garden, Roses & Winter

21 years ago

I had too much fun this spring and planted.....oh, maybe 36 roses around the property, 5 of which are Iceburg Climbers. I usually wrap all the fruit trees and other tasty varieties with hardware cloth to keep the voles and other varmints from skirting the trunks under the snow. What am I to do withe the new roses, SEV Daylilies and a few other favorites to protect them from vole feasting?

I am afraid to cage and stuff with straw the new climbers for winter protection and end up providing perfect nesting habitat plus food for the critters.

Has anyone found a trick that works through the winter?
