I planted 2 Fourth of July climbers, 1 per side, on an arbor. This will be their third season in the ground and they are only about 2 feet tall. I'm in zone 7a, and they get lots of sun in my back yard. Is this normal behavior for the third year? Do you think they are planning on climbing any time soon?

I'm seriously thinking of moving them elsewhere and trying another set of climbers...perhaps Elie Beauvillain. I know I'm not a patient person, but I'm thinking 3 years aught to see some growth.

Your rose is probably own root and is slower to get started. Give it another year.

This rose is often slow to "take off." Have patience. Mine, which is grafted took several years to come into its own also -- I thought I just had purchased runty plants, but then the next year they "did their thing" and are big climbers now. So leave them be.
