Wait another couple of weeks. The same thing happened to me last year, 4
weeks and no signs of life, so I called the company (David Austin USA) and
they sent me a replacement. In week eight, the day the replacement rose
arrived, the thing showed a few tiny pink growth buds, and now a year later
both are doing ok.

Hi, I bought 2 Fairy and 2 Pavement Rugosas as bareroot plants and
planted
them 3 weeks ago. They are "own-root" plants. There was some
unseasonable
cold weather, but this is Philadelphia and it wasn't below 30 degrees for
long.
I don't see any signs of life to them.


There isn't much "flexibility" to them, how long should I wait before
digging
them out and trying again?
