New barewoot rose has brown stipe on each cane

I bought a Heaven on Earth bareroot rose from Jackson&Perkins in May2009 and planted it in a sunny location. Dug a deep wide hole and put great soil in it, but I am concerned that the clay soil underneath will be a drainage issue for the rose. The canes were green when I planted it, but about a week after planting, I noticed brownish stripe on each cane! Can someone tell me what happened? Is my 1st attempt at growing a bareroot rose a failure?! I was so excited about growing this beautiful fragrant rose. Hope it is not dead. Is watering it every day (on a drip system) too much because of the clay soil underneath it?
