Cindi - I'm leaning also towards the cattle prod. I still haven't gotten any leaves on Summer Song, so I left Rahel w/Palatine a VM asking what I can do to poke some leaves out of it. I've got it buried so that only about 4" of canes are sticking out of the mulch and it only gets morning/noon sun w/shade in the hot hot afternoon. Probably like yours the canes are green & wiggly, not dead & brown. Frustrating, isn't it!
On a happy note, I know that my Lady X (bodybag) and Music Box (extreme pathetic "I've gotten better bodybag roses" from Edmunds) both have teensy little leaves on them. I doused them pretty good with some Age Old Fish & Seaweed, and that usually perks up everything (if stinks up everything, too).
