Honeyberry Summer Dormancy
Be sure to note, that after our plants gain new branches/ leaves, and the weather is hotter and hotter, our plants in pots in our Zone 7 fall into summer dormancy sooner and it lasts longer through the hot season.
Plants gain some mold on the leaves from overhead watering and from the heavy spring rains, then the leaves start looking unhealthy and damaged. That is NORMAL! 
Then they can start losing leaves in hotter climates and leaves look like they look right before winter comes: do not get upset: they are just falling into sleep-summer dormancy- to gain new buds: some to open later when it is cooler again closer to the fall, some buds - for the future new crop in spring.
Honeyberry Growing Habit
It is the of August- Mid-September when the plants start gaining again their new beautiful green, brownish/ reddish turning green foliage.
Being planted they keep their summer foliage much better when they are very well established (in a year or so.
After your plants finish bearing their leaves start looking worse and worse getting brownish/blackish/moldy (especially with growing humidity and heavy rains), even dry if it is lack of water through the new hot season as if they got damaged, but that is NORMAL for humid or too dry climates! 
The cooler and nicer summers in your climatic zone the better your plants look in summer.
Their roots are 'bast' type roots. That is normal.
Please, do not add any acidic mulch around honeyberries and leave an approximately 2-foot mulch-free spot around your plant when You plant them until it is rooted in and established. Please, weed all the grass around at least 4 '. Start with 2 inches high mulch level. You should add pine mulch for heat or winter protection when the plants are well-established and after they give some new growth (in about 1- 2-3 months depending on the weather and season). Other mulch is too acidic or may have undesirable fungus.
