I bought 3 bare root roses from reputable source just before 3/4 accident

I sent word to OP to tell gardener to plant them. On return home, observed Zero growth!!!

Wondering if miscommunication. I wanted gardener to fertilize ESTABLISHED roses
pruned in January.

Could he have misunderstood and also fertilized bare roots (which is a No-No)
and could that have let to their demise?

Would appreciate input from rose folks.

This is So Cal coastal.

Really still curious about this. Never happened before w/bare roots. I wasn't there to observe, but seems odd to me. Any parallel experiences, or possible explanations?
