Thanks to the person who replied to my post and talked about the long canes
on the rose that I transplanted.  Funny you should mention the leaves
wilting, because just this morning I noticed that they were.  Could be
because we had a light frost this morning; however, the predicted highs
today are about 60 - 65 degrees.  I'll check it out when I get home to see
if the leaves have perked up any.  I'll also water it again.

These same long canes have little red buds along its length -- I'm assuming
that it will soon leaf out.  You can understand why I hesitate to cut it
back.  You mentioned that I might consider cutting the canes back as I
would for cuttings.  Hmmm...I've never taken cuttings but thanks to the
detailed advice I've received from the list members here, I plan on doing
so with a few roses that I have.  Is it too early to do so?  I'll cut this
rose back if it would help the general health of the plant, but only if it
is OK to start cuttings now.
