I have an english yew that is not doing well at all in my north west facing garden.?

Question:it gets sun all afternoon and of course in summer it can get very hot. its planted in with roses, hydrangeas, hostas, ferns.
is it the sun/heat getting to it?
or could it be the other plants aren't compatible?
should i move it to a hotter spot or a cooler spot? help!
its a beautiful plant but it is dying.
all the other plants in the garden are doing very well!
any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answers:
Yews take full sun to part shade. The sun probably is not the reason this yew is doing poorly. How often does your yew get watered? Hosta , hydrangea, ferns, roses; these are all moisture loving plants. The thing that usually kills yews is too much water. If you can, back off your watering of the yew or move it to a drier spot.
