Rose bush problem

I recently planted three rose bushes but one is not growing its leaves witherd away, i dont know if its dead

I have uploaded a few photos of the rose bushes

 

Sorry @Gman1978 they're not showing here. If this is your first post, they might not allow it. Try again now that I've replied.

 

You can test for death by scratching the main stem with a thumbnail. If it's green underneath, it's alive. Try it on a definitely live one first, so you know what to expect.

 

It might possibly be a later variety but it doesn't look good. Give the bush a few more weeks, if there is still no growth I think you may have lost it. Keep the soil damp but not sodden and do not feed, time is often the healer and plants are amazingly tough. Beware any new shoots from below the graft, the knobbly part at soil level. Pull them off as they are a wild rose stock.

 

Were your roses planted as potted plants or bare roots? The soil does look very dry which could explain leaf loss on your third plant as the roots aren't getting enough water to support them. I would improve the soil around all three roses by adding some organic matter, either as a mulch or dug into the surrounding soil. If you don't have your own compost, don't use multipurpose compost, use what GC's sell as Farmyard Manure or Soil Conditioner. Keep the plants well watered in this current dry warm weather.

 

Yes they were boughtin pots, 2 months ago, they had some leaves on them when i planted them in the ground

They have been watered regularly, i just took k a photo when th ground was dry

 

While they are getting established try not to let the ground dry out. I’ve noticed that one of my recently planted bare root roses wilts in the current heat and needs watering every day.

 

Ok will do thanks

 

Just another observation. Planting them so near your property wall will mean rain will not really fall onto the plants especially when they start to mature and a canopy forms. Soil near a wall/structure tend to be drier too.

I'm not sure of which ones they are but I think they need more space (planted further away from wall) for expanding for the future health and growth shape.

The soil as mentioned looks very dry or if not, then it's clay-like which can form a hard dry crust causing water to not leak down to deeper layers. You need to add more soil conditioner or some kind of mulch to help keep the roots damp and cool.
