I have 4 rose bushes. 3 are doing great. The other one the leaves seem so tiny, and they seem to dry up after they come out. The stalks don't look right either.
We had a long winter with a lot of rain and snow, more than last year. All bushes are on raised bed, same soil, same fertilizer. Any help is appreciated

The moisture in raised beds can evaporate rapidly. I'd recommend mulching these roses and keeping the soil moist (not wet).

I just removed the old mulch from winter and added new soil. Afterwards we had about a week where it didn't stop raining and was very cold. It has been raining very often so I wondered if it was the opposite, too much moisture 🤷🏻‍♀️
Thank you

Curiously, plants react to being too wet and being too dry much the same way. Since it is a KnockOut it is likely to be quite tough and forgiving.
