That is too bad your Livin' Easy didn't grow as expected. However, remember that sometimes you just get a "dud" plant of a cultivar that is really a good rose. I have had this happen several times to me in my rose growing life. I have had bad ones that when replaced with another bush turned out to be a wonderful rose. For example, my favorite rose is the floribunda Day Breaker. I had one bush to start with and was so taken by it that I ordered five more for a special planting. In those five new roses one bush just didn't want to cooperate and was a wimpy, seldom blooming, big disappointment. The other four are marvelous bushes living up to my every expectation. I shovel pruned the offender and purchased another DB bush to take it's place for my special planting and it turned out to be another great rosebush and has made my planting of five of these roses a spectacular sight to see I am happy to report.
Don't give up on a rose cultivar if you get a bad bush. If everyone else is continuing to get marvelous results, give it another shot and try another bush to replace it. More than likely you will be happy you did!!!
