AnswerThe more questions I get about the new Knock Out roses , the more I am convinced that they will sometimes re-act negatively to some rose sprays. Small, tiny growth is a root problem symptom that should in time cure itself as the roots have just gone dormant because of the transplanting. If there are no diseases on the leaves, the rose bushes should perk up after they have got over the move. Also if your weather was hot when you planted them, that will also put a rose bush under stress and they will re-act by shutting down the roots and so no new growth.
