Browning leave are pretty normal at this time of year, although it can also be because of damage to stems lower down.
They look very near the fence, although it's hard to see properly in those photos. Most clems need a lot of water, and if they're surrounded by lots of planting when establishing, that's competition. Even those which like drier conditions need to be well watered until established.
There seems to be a lot of plastic ties on them too, It's always better to remove those, separate, and tie in stems, to supports with soft string. The ties are only there for retail purposes. It's difficult to have them supported in a suitable way otherwise for moving and selling.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
