thank you for the replies. I put some miracle grow dirt in the hole. I have a young male boxer that digs up everything else. I also put the Jobes rose food sticks in the ground this year. It gets sun from 12 noon till dusk and I have the sprinklers on 2x a week and will water if its too hot. The foliage looks super healthy, and I am hoping that next year I will have a rose explosion. I've had rose bushes, climbers and ground before and they all have bloomed the first year. I will be patient.
