Radulated Rose

Munching Molluscs have been eating at my Gourmet Gastropod Rose Restaurant once again.

I only have one rose bush in my garden - gift a few years ago. This year it has been through the wars with wind and heavy rain beating down the blooms and petals even rotting on the flowers. Now they face another enemy. Three blooms jut opening were this evening found to have been half consumed by snails (which were promptly dispatched).

This is what was left of one of them.
