Can they still "come back to life?"

It took us forever to get out our old bushes to put in the new ones. We can finally do it this weekend, but the bushes in the pots are dead/ dying. Will they come back to life when planted? We have watered them, but I guess not enough? 2 are rose bushes, one is azelea and im not sure what the other is. TIA for any advice..

    Are you asking if dead things can come back to life?Hmm Not if they're dead!

    I can't really determine whether they are or not....

    I'm betting that you'll be buying more plants this weekend.

  • Are they dead or just wilted from the summer heat? If you can't get them green and happy in the pots, I probably wouldn't plant them in the ground as they are probably dead.  Some plants "hibernate" in the winter, but if they die from lack of watering, there's no bringing them back.  Sorry!

  • I was convinced that a few of our shrubs were completely fried last summer.  I planned on digging them out this spring, but decided against it after I saw new growth.  None are a 100% but I suspect that they'll be in better shape next year.
