Sad Christmas Roses

Hi Can anyone out there help me with a problem with my Christmas Roses.
I moved them earlier this year and the smaller of the 2 has a lot of buds, but the large one only seems to have foliage any suggestions

They are notorious for hating being moved! Be patient I'm sure they will settle in, although the only specimens of this plant I have seen seemed to be just about clinging on, rather than thriving. I get the impression they are fussy things, and therefore stick to Helleborus orientalis myself!
I fully agree Will - my experiences lead me to also conclude that they are indeed fussy little beggars!
Lots and lots of leafmould and other organic matter, and shade.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Mine are in pots, in the shade, but very sad. I agree about sticking to the orientals
Hi all
Thanks for the tips I think I must have tempremental ones as they have been moved four times now and used to bloom like mad everytime, so maybe this time they are on strike
Maybe they're just having a rest. It's been an odd year. One of mine flowered in August

As I said mine are tempremental the small one has loads of buds just waiting to pop open and for the last few years they have flowered from October right through to April
