I just planted a Rozanne last fall and also hoping it is still going to break through.
I have 3 new Splish Splash and a Johnson's Blue that are all up.

I knew nothing about Rozanne last spring when I bought two flats of gallon pots for $1.25 Canadian, each. Those plants tripled in size in a month and flowered themselves silly till October.

Since it works so hard in the fall, maybe it is a slow starter in the spring?

Geranium 'Rozanne'

You should see foliage rather quickly. 'Rozanne' is a prolific bloomer for me with part sun/full sun half/half during the day with moist soil. Cutting back produces a nice, neat mound of beautiful foliage. It may take a few weeks for blooms to appear again. I'm basing my experience on my own 'Rozanne' that gets part sun all day and is in moist, well-draining soil. Something that I do in the cottage garden is use container plants (small to medium pots) in the bed where I need a little distraction while perennials emerge. Then, when the perennials are looking good, I move the container to another spot. This prevents disturbing the soil in a tightly packed cottage garden. Right now, I have a container hosta in the bed with the 'Rozanne' to provide interest while waiting for the phlox 'David' to bloom. In my deer resistant meadow garden, I grow spring annals that I pull up by the roots to remove when the summer perennials are going strong. Different setting with lots of space. Cameron

Coreopsis Moonbeam or Geranium Rozanne
Q

The drainage is very good. I was looking for a long bloomer that could take the sun. I repeatedly read that rozanne and moonbeam fit the bill and are well loved by many. I was also looking for a gently mounding plant as it will be plunked in the middle of crocosmia and salvia caradonna with their upward spiky look. ------------------------ I already have bought moonbeam and coreopsis so they are going in... but exact spot was a question. So based on the responses it seems I should put rozanne in the gentler spot and moonbeam in the sunnier. I checked out the centranthus rubber-and it wasn't the look I am going for but thanks. And, WOW the Wendy's wish is a total beauty...I need to find a place for her! Does she flop in the heat? Oh, since hummingbirds were brought up , the hummingbirds in my area are driven wild by the lucifer crocosmia- they cannot get enough of it. Adding on Wendy's wish could be fun. Any agastache that would be recommended for full baking sun?

Geranium Rozanne

bean, some of what I do is true for most of my garden. Rather than doing any cutting back in fall, I keep perennial foliage intact until spring (except the peonies and iris). I know there are differing schools of thought on this, but in my experience the foliage does a great job of holding onto leaves and snow, and seems to provide an extra measure of insulation. For Rozanne in particular, I gather up her foliage at the end of the season so that it's more of a mound than a sprawling ground cover -- not piled up over the crown, but just sort of swept together. Then I fortify the sides of this mound with mulched autumn leaves about 6" deep. I usually do this in early November, before the serious snow begins. In the spring, I remove that mulch in layers as it thaws and dries out; usually takes several weeks. By the time the last mulch is off, I see new growth and cut off the sprawl from the previous year. Not a whole lot of trouble, really, and Rozanne's been in my garden five years now and seems fine with the location.

I have about 10 of these. I just gently tug out the dead growth now and then--when it is ready to come out, it tugs right off. Sometimes I cut them back if they look really ratty in early fall--about now--and they grow a bit of fresh foliage and stay that way for the winter, not doing a whole lot but looking good enough. Some of them get very small in the winter--just a few leaves--others in warmer spots stay a bit larger and bloom a little. Then come late winter they start growing rapidly and blooming lavishly again. A truly wonderful plant. All of mine are mulched. Some are seven or eight years old, so I think they don't mind the mulch.

Well I am glad I am not the only one waiting...that is hopefully a good sign! I have other geraniums up as well but not Rozanne. It really is a great plant...

Not in your zone, and don't have Rozanne, but all my geraniums are slow to start.

Rozanne is slow to appear. I have one just starting to break ground.

My Rozanne is just starting to emerge - I had to do some poking into the centre of the plant to see it (I didn't clean up at the end of last season, thought I'd leave the plant alone to give it a bit of a blanket for winter). I just noticed it emerging last night, but it is emerging at about the same pace as my Johnson's Blues, they are just starting as well. Definitley slow when compared to the other varieties I have (magnificum, onaxium, sanguineum, biokova).

Another piece of experience : last year, after my first Rozanne's first winter, I worried just the way you do, Kad2...and finally, with tears in my eyes..bought a new Rozanne at a plant's fair by mid-April...a few days later...naturally..the original Rozanne did show up ! ;o)
This year, both of them started fairly early (mid-march)..go figure..
Maybe they just like not to be alone????

I am in a warmer zone, just saw my first Rozanne flower yesterday, which was three weeks after all of my lavender bloomed. Rozanne doesn't seem to like my adobe soil and I am hoping they grow bigger this year.
