One of my roses from my Edmunds order-Whimsy, and one from the Palatine order-Orange Veranda- and 2 that I bought in body bags, (both Intrigue), have not yet broken dormancy. I know nurseries sweat them in the winter when they're growing them in a greenhouse, but why did all the rest grow without issues when these didn't? I planted 30 other bare root roses at the same time in the same areas, and they all look good. Some are already blooming.
What can I do to get them going? We've had sufficient heat and I have watered.
Do they need a fertilizer? A root stimulator? Cattle prod?
Pretty soon it will be too hot and windy here for young leaves to survive. They all have green canes and look alive, just no leaves or nubs.
Help?
