Rose Blue Moon seems to have gone dormant?

Hey all - I bought a rose back in February. I bought from J Parkers (who I understand is a trusted supplier?) and it is called a "Rose Blue Moon". 

I planted it firmly in a wide pot pretty much straight away (around 20th Feb) and out it outside in a sunny spot. 

I am just a bit confused because, as the garden started waking up in late Feb / March, every  started to grow, the tulips started to make an appearance, the deciduous plants started to go green, but this lady did NOTHING. 

It is my very first time planting a rose so I am wondering if any of you more experienced rose growers might have some words of advice? 

Picture below.

    There is no sign of life at all.
    Sorry, but I think it is dead, not dormant. Contact Parker’s and ask for your money back.

    I agree. Send them your picture.
    I've had refunds from J Parkers without any problems (when things have turned out to be wrongly labelled) but they did ask for pictures.
