Surrey, United Kingdom

Growing bare root roses (3 different varieties) in a new bed, planted out in December. Some are growing ok with variable vigour. With a few plants they have put out new leaves and stems over the past month, then just seemed to have stopped for the past 2 weeks with no further signs of continued growth, while the others continue to grow.

Is this quite normal for this time of year?
