What plants can I use that are deer resistant?

We are building a new house in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have been looking all over the web to try and create a list of deer resistant plants. I know foxglove and lavender are good, but it would be nice to have a list of plants and designs instead of having to hunt all over the place. And it would be nice to have the list in order of resistance. For instance, I know they will not touch foxglove as it is toxic to them, but there are other plants they usually don't eat unless they are exceptionally hungry.

Rosemary, salvia, grasses, Gravilla, just to name a few.
Ah yes I forgot Rosemary and also Russian Sage which is so pretty. But I wish I could find ONE LIST somewhere. I'm busy compiling my own. Greatly appreciate your input!
I've been reading that Irish Spring Soap that's been shredded in a food processor will keep away deer. From the photo I saw, it doesn't require much, but needs to be reapplied after a heavy rain.
Ive bought some "deer resistant" plants that the deer have still eaten off so I guess it's really hard to come up with a complete list since a hungry deer will try anything. They do not touch my tiger lilies, daisies, daylilies, butterfly bush, salvia, Lily of the valley, ferns, promise or black eyed susan's. Good luck!
