Deer Resistant Bushes

Looking for Michigan shade/deer resistant perennial full flowering bushes/shrubs/plants? I have an 80% pine, 20% oak forest in my back yard which is shady almost all year round. The groud is compacted like hard mud. I know I live in Michigan but I'm looking for border flowering bushes/shrubs/plants that are full and give the appearance of the Augusta Masters course. Any ideas? Must be deer resistant and able to tolerate complete shade and occasional salt water from sprinklers.
