hello - new to roses - my wife and i built a rose garden for our little girls this spring - one of our favorite roses - the climbing joseph's coat rose, seems to be looosing its leaving and its stems turning brown. about half the plant looks good (and roses are blooming) - but i've noticed in the past week to ten days that this part of the plan is turning bare. any ideas as to what's going on and steps i can take to ensure the plan thrives?
the attached pic is an upclose of the "bad" part of the plan - the optional link url is a pic of the entire plant for reference
we planted this plant six weeks ago. its in 6 - 8 hrs of sun each day - we water it regulary. thank you

What is going on is that you just planted it 6 weeks ago, and the poor thing is trying to grow roots while simultaneously supporting all of that top growth. However, it looks mainly fine. If it was mine I would cut off ONLY the canes or parts of canes that are brown and obviously completely dead. Then I would leave it alone for at least one year, so that it can grow roots and get established.

Next Spring, when it stops freezing, you can prune it a bit.
