Mine are starting to grow quickly, too.

I recently had five roses do something peculiar. We're doing some building here and in March I moved most of the roses I thought would amount to anything from an area that I thought would get worked over by a back hoe. I abandoned a number of roses in that same area, being almost certain they were a hopeless loss. It didn't rain in April, May, June, or the first half of July - not a drop. Then we got a few inches of rain in the last half of July and I saw six rose plants pop up: Two Ambridge Rose, three Cupcake, and one Eglantyne rose. In mid August they were blooming more vigorously than any of the roses I had watered through the drought.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Is this any way to treat a rose?
