Is anyone here growing Queen Elizabeth? It's in its second year here at my place and is just sitting there glaring at me! It seems to have wintered well, and it has fairly good spring growth, but only put out one bloom. Now, three weeks after the bloom, it is just sitting there no new growth. I had thought that maybe it was our unseasonably hot weather but my other roses are doing just great. Any ideas?
Maybe I should summer prune it? It didn't experience any die-back so I didn't prune it hard at the end of the winter season.

Any shared experience would be greatly appreciated!

(Edited because I was wrong!)

First photo is its first flush, you can see how little I pruned it.
Second photo is just the last one of the set.
