Help against leaf eaters destroying my roses

Answers
Last year hubby bought me a new climbing rose and of all things, a wild baby rabbit eat all the leaves off it. I had to put netting fence around it till it put some height on.
Do you know what is eating yours? Is it insects or could it be like mine and a rabbit?

welcome to GoY.
could you add a photo of the damage to your leaves?
if not could you describe the damage. Not too many things eat rose leaves really so we do need more info please.

I just wonder if it could be leaf cutting bees? A photo will certainly help us

my 2 prime suspects are leaf cutter bees and vine weevils. It is a little early for the bees i'd have thought but I wonder if this is a question linked to damage last year and they are hoping to avoid the same again this year.

You should assess the location of your roses. Would they thrive somewhere else with more sun & air? I wonder why the bugs are there to begin with.
