Has anyone lost a Geranium Rozanne this winter?

I'm slightly amazed that I am seeing hide nor hair of Rozanne emerging. I wonder if it has karked. I thought they were tough as old boots; it seems late, but maybe I am impatient. Last year she flowered from Feb to Nov. This year there isn't so much as a leaf up yet. She seemed to sail through the very hot summer and flowered through out - in full sun. We had -8 for a week in Dec. I didn't suppose that this would be enough to make a difference to geranium.

Thanks

    They’re lazy sods. They’re not out of bed yet. Well mine aren’t

    Mine has only just put up a couple of leaves this week.... the other gerries have been up for a month!

    Rozanne is usually later to wake up than the other hardy geraniums, wherever I’ve gardened.

    I have at least five rozanne through my boarder.... normally they all die back in winter but this year the one that is in the most sheltered spot didn't die back at all and is flowering already.... all the rest are only just showing new leaves. It shows how much of an impact conditions have on a plant.

    And interestingly enough @WonkyWomble … your Rozanne plants once grew in my garden 😊 which is less sheltered than yours.

    Some of them @Dovefromabove....I had a couple then yours turned into monsters and needed re-homing.... some went to my customers but I manged to squeeze a few more in my garden.
    I've like to have a few as they are very popular and go on all summer long.

    Mine sprang into life about 10 days ago, I’m in South Devon so might be a bit ahead of you, depending on where you live.

    Mine in Norfolk is growing, if it's Rozanne and not one of the pesky geranium phaeum that keep seeding all over the place.
