Bush Rose

---

I need help again.

 

Someone gave me seeds from Australia, Bush Rose, Lemon Bottle bush, Kangaroo Paw.  I have needed to give iron to the Kangaroo Paw and I have 3 growing at 3 inches.  The Bush Rose looks very gray and is not doing anything, maybe getting smaller.  I have put it into the ground thinking that might help.  It is only  2 inches high.  We recently had off and on wonderful soft rains for a 4 day period after no rain since February.  It doesn't look any better.  My soil is neutral, Penstemons and Salvias grow very well.  It is located with quite a bit of shade and now only gets morning sun, but if it grows it will have lots of sun.  Any help in getting these to grow would be appreciated.  I tried the same plants last year and was a complete failure.

 

Thanks,

Lorraine
