The 3 dormant roses have not even a smidge of growth.
They are in different area of the yard, a good 500 feet apart, and the roses near them are all growing robustly.
The only thing they have in common is they all came from the same online reputable nursery, in the same shipment. The other 6 in that shipment leafed out just last week. Other orders I received the week before and the week after have all leafed out. They act like they are in a deep sleep. We've had plenty of warm weather and a couple of good rainfalls. Easter Basket has not gotten as much water as the other two because it's farther out in the yard, but even body bags next to it are growing.
If it weren't so windy here all the time, I would build a tent over them and try to keep a warm mist on them. If i have to, I suppose I could dig them, pot them, and build a misting tent in the sunroom.
Is Secret a difficult rose to grow? It appears mine is declining. Two different plants of Veterans Honor are slowly dying too. What is it with HTs?
