If they were just planted this year, it could very well be transplant shock. Give them time to acclimate.

Maybe but they were in Fibre pots. Not sure if they would suffer shock from just sticking them in the ground

Not true at all. Depends on your soil type. I planted them in fiber pots last year. Moved them around this year and the pots were gone.

It has happened to me with a few new Austin roses. I figured it was because they didn't have a GOOD established root system during their first year in the ground. After the first year, they were fine.

Their roots are not established in your native soil yet. This often contributes go wilting even in only moderately hot weather. Sunlight intensity also causes wilting. After several overcast days in a row, then presto!, full all daylong sunshine will do it, too. Relax , continue good care, and things will iron out.

Mx Chino: To whom were you responding when posting ”Not true at all”?

Was a comment deleted after you wrote this? And if so, what was deleted?

What fibre pots were ”gone”?

She did delete the comment. It was something to the effect of Fibre pots dont break down.

Moses: Was that you who liked Ken’s comment?

This happens with some of my roses and hydrangeas that are water hogs. My PAoK and Summer Romance are in afternoon shade for this exact reason. Just giving more water isn‘t enough to fix the issue because the limitation is with the plants ability to move enough water to prevent wilting. If they perk up over night that might be what is going on here as well. Moving from cooler weather to hotter weather also seems to throw some of my roses for a loop and they take a couple weeks to stop frying when temps go over 65 😂

Heather, temps over 65? My roses don't fry until it's over 90F, which will start today here. Ms Chino just give your roses that are drooping a lot more water and see what happens. Diane

Heather, my paok is planted 15 feet away in the same bed with no issues.

Sorry I addressed you as Ms Chino. What a dumb mistake, Mx. The roses are drooping because of PAoK--ha. That rose is a rampant thug, which is one reason I removed mine years ago. Your PAoK is sucking all the water and fertilizer out of the ground that's meant for the droopers. Please don't believe anything I say. Diane
