I don't know about your "rust" or brown leaves. I do know that plantings do go through a stress time after planting. You can use a hose to water them even though we aren't supposed to use our sprinkling system alot now. From doing some "self-landscaping" in the past I've observed that it takes about 3 years for plantings to really take hold and then grow quickly. We've never planted the more "mature" looking bushes and trees that I've observed some doing here, but I'd think that would hold true with them as well.
