We planted 2 dwarf burning bushes in March right before our record rainfall of the year. Both plants' root balls sat basically underwater for a week, one worse than the other. The one developed leaves and seems fine but the other never developed leaves although it is covered in buds that never opened. We cut a stem and it is green inside and still seems to be alive.

Some compost, about six inches thick, mulched around at the base. That would give a shot of rich nutrient that might be the missing need.
Burning bushes are quite sturdy, hardly shrubs. I wouldn't give up on it until next year. One winter I thought the rabbits had killed mine. Turns out they had just pruned it for me.
