Frequently asked gardening related questions
While pigeons are not typically considered a major pest of roses, they can occasionally cause minor damage. They might peck at emerging buds or young, tender shoots, especially if other food sources are scarce. This is generally more of a nuisance than a severe threat to the plant's overall health. Physical deterrents like netting can protect very vulnerable plants, but usually, the damage is not significant enough to warrant extensive control measures.
