Uncharacteristic gopher...

I know there are many moles in the front terraces, and I haven't found any evidence of gopher mounds in many months, but this Austin red recently turned from its general malaise to complete collapse over night. None of the English roses in the front terraces ever really look GOOD, unless I water them at least every other day, but this one seldom looked "happy" even then. Finally, just a few days ago, it completely collapsed.
I searched for any surface evidence of gophers and found nothing. However, when I pulled on the plant and it easily uprooted, the evidence was revealed.

I'm not really troubled this rose is gone as it never really "pleased", and I know to expect Dr. Huey to resurface from what's left in the soil. I loaded the tunnel with bait, carefully covered the exposed areas with cardboard, soil and mulch in hopes of sending the varmint off to his eternal reward before he attacks something I actually care about. Now starts making sure the Terrors stay away from the area in case of any carcasses occurring on the surface. Kim
