poorly rose

good morning. I wondered if anyone might have some advice on my tree rose. I bought it together with five others from David Austin at the end of November and planted it as a bare root. All the others are doing brilliantly other than this one. I contacted David Austin and they are sending a refund as they don't have any to replace it. As you can see, its trying to do something at the crown (if thats what it"s called) but the rest above is dead.
Its in a really prominent spot and I'm trying to decide whether to just give up and hook it out or whether its worth persevering with. What do you think guys? thank you in advance.

 

I think by mid summer you will have a good looking rose , its just had a hard prune by nature and is springing back.
Just watch for any of those shoots that has different leaves to the others.

 

Hi Wise Owl. Thank you so much for your reply. It's an Olivia Rose tree Rose and I bought it together with two Olivia Rose shrub roses. I also bought two Elizabeth shrub roses and another Olivia tree Rose. All the others are looking amazing. I planted them all at the very beginning of December but then we had that really hard freeze where the ground was frozen for about four weeks. Although this rose is south facing border, it's probably seven most exposed area in my garden so I suspect it's the cold that has affected it. Because it arrived pruned to within an inch of its life, do you think I should still cut it to 6" or see if it recovers a bit first? thanks again Tara

 

Oh thats sounds most encouraging. I'll do that and keep you posted. Thank you

 

Oh great. thank you. will do. I think that weather gave me a hard pruning. I'm sure I lost a few layers of skin to the frost!

 

Oh thank you. I did contact David Austin and they suggested I do exactly that and the wood was dead. They have very kindly given me a refund as they said its not thriving and so they were happy to do that which is fab. I will give it a chance for a few months to see if it does recover using the advice of all you kind folk!
