Were the Rose of Sharon plants root bound in their pots? If so then you can get stunted growth, if you didn't loosen the soil and spread roots when planting that has a good chance of being your problem. The one you transplanted got its roots loosened and is now growing normally you have your answer.

I have plenty of experience with your problem, I have done the same. The picture I posted is a root bound rose root system when planted root bound. It lived 6+ years never got much more than knee high before it croaked. It should have been a 6 footer.
