Advice on a guelder rose

Rubiks

Hi all,

I recently purchased a guelder rose from an online gardening retailer (they have good reviews etc).  I'm not very happy with the plant I was sent, as it looks half dead to me. 

I've attached some pictures, and I wondered if you agreed before I question the seller?

Thank you in advance

Not the best.
Leaves rather manky...but would have dropped off soon anyway.
Trunk looks strong and healthy.
Planted it should recover and be fine next spring.
Enjoy!

I love Viburnum opulus...Guelder rose...super shrub, white flowers in spring, red berries in the autumn.

I agree ... it'll be fine ... even established ones are looking a bit manky around now.  
Gorgeous plants

That's a relief, thank you both! Saves me an awkward conversation and looking like an idiot  

Thanks

Looks alright for the time of the year.

Rubiks...Your pics are rather good.
I had never noticed the glands on the lead stalks before.
