My Rose Isn't Puting Out Leaves

The rose was planted about a month ago and was planted along with another rose(about 6' apart)

It is either a John F. Kennedy or a Mr.Lincon(sp?)

All of my other roses are putting out leaves, why isn't this one??

What can I do?

I wouldn't worry unless the canes turn dark brown or black.
Some roses can be slower than others.

How was it purchased? I'm assuming bagged? As long as the canes are green and you are keeping it watered, it will be fine. Like Jeri said, some roses take longer than others to start with top growth. some like to grow more roots first. Newly planted bareroot roses can take up to 6 weeks to start showing new growth.

If it was potted (seems early, but possible), then it is settling into its new home. Be patient.

What happens when the rose you ordered isn't what you ordered?

Believe it or not I got Ducher instead of Duchess of Brabant last week. That is really funny. Same exact problem but, I got mine from Chamblee's. Luckily, I noticed it 2 days later when I was planting it. I called them right up and they apologized and sent me my Duchess on Monday. It should be here by Thursday. The best part was they told me to keep Dutcher. Of course, being that they were sending another order, I had to add to it. It must be a label thing as when I first opened the Box and looked at all the Labels I didn't notice it either. I think we both got lucky as I've done some homework on Dutcher and think we'll grow to like him. Dan

tdavis81, if you haven't seen Ashdown Rose videos on you tube they are great and entertaining. The climbing rose vids are really helpful. Basically your are shown how to get the most blooms out of your climbers. Your climber looks healthy! The link to Ashdown rose video is below. This one is about training on a trellis but you will get the facts of training climbers. It really helped me to see it done.

CJ, I got mine from Sequoia a few years back, and I've had the same experience. I'm planning to shovel prune it in the next day or so. Out of Yesteryear will be going, too. Out of Yesteryear and its children have NOT performed well in my garden (I've tried Out of the Night, Precious Dream, Lemon Pearls, and Golden Buddha. I put in Stardust before I recognized the pattern, and it's too new to tell if it will be a problem or not). If it's hot and dry they need, this should have been a good year for them. It rained twice in 90 days at my house this summer, and temps were regularly in the 80's & 90's--we even passed 100 a few times. There still were nasty balling brown blooms on OOtN and OOY. These roses, along with the Austins, were the worst in my yard for winter dieback and canker. A grandchild of Out of Yesteryear, Fakir's Delight, had some dieback but is doing much better than the others. Pink Powderpuff, a bracteata half-sibling of Out of Yesteryear, is doing just fine. I don't know what it is with Out of Yesteryear and all its children, but they really don't like my yard. A possible replacement to consider is "Louisa Stone", if you don't have to have pure white. It's listed as an apricot, but in my yard it's been more of a warm blush-white color. It's new to me this year, but it's been a fantastic performer so far. Another to consider if you don't have to have an English-style rose is the polyantha "Lullaby". This is also a new one for me, and it's one of those roses that make you happy every time you walk past it. The blooms really do look like little Madame Hardys, with a little blush when they first open. I might have to buy a second from Vintage I like it so much.

Why isn't my Limelight hydrangea leafing out?

Thanks for the advice from a month or so ago! I managed to avoid doing anything drastic to my limelight and it eventually started to leaf out in mid-May. I think the little guy is gonna make it. That said, your helpful words couldn't keep me from doing a little experimentation. I happened to be reading a book about pruning and noticed a passage that said that pruning a small portion of a branch can rejuvenate it. I snipped off a few branch tips and the first leaf emerged two days later. I'm not certain that the pruning did the trick, but given what I've learned about plant hormones and pruning, it may have helped. If any of you have any thoughts on this, let me know. And here's the limelight:

Well, those bagged roses haven't exactly had a easy start in life, so
we must cut them a little slack if they are slow to start up.

Back up north I purchased a bagged rose and it took the darn thing WEEKS to sprout out leaves! I fretted but was told as long as the canes are green and firm it will be okay. It did eventually show signs of life and grew nicely - until it bloomed and I realized it was mislabelled! :-(

Well, In January, we planted 5 bagged roses. All showed leaves pretty quickly except Diana Princess of Wales. I did cut her slack. She was in partial shade, so I think it took her some time. You should see her now, 2 months later! She is full of leaves and is obviously reaching past the shade!

The other bag babies mostly have buds, and I can't wait for the blooms!!

We planted Cinco de Mayo about a month ago. Nothing. But now, 2 sets of leaves, and I have faith she will fill out fast. Looking forward to seeing her amazing colors!

Roses to me are "she's." Sort of like that cat/dog thing. Cat's are "she's" and dogs are "he's."

Not sure which rose would be a he. Maybe a bearded Iris? Hmmmmmm Speaking of those, I tucked some bulbs in from Walmart, and thought they were dead. Amazing thing about spring. They are up and I'm looking forward to those blossoms also!

Good luck with your bag baby!

Suzi, your comment about cats and dogs made me laugh; when I was little I was pretty sure that they were the same species (not that I knew that word...) I thought the cats were female and dogs were male, and they "went together" so to speak!

I have nothing to add to the above discussion, annoyingly. From all appearances, most of my babies are dead to the ground.

Not all roses break dormancy at the same time. One thing to remember when growing roses is patience. They will do what they will do in their own sweet time, and there is nothing you can do about it, except to be patient. Newly planted roses need to settle in before they do much of anything. In the meantime, we have to be patient. Are you getting the key word here? PATIENCE.
