How to care for roses that came with our new home.?
We bought a place in June and it had several different colored roses in the front yard. It looks as if one of the previous tenants had taken good care of them at one time; however, the tenant right before us did not do too much with the roses. I love roses; however, I do not know much about how to care for them. We have been watering them during the summer (at least every other night) and they are doing much better, actually getting buds and flowering. I am wondering when it is best to cut off the dead parts of the flowers, when is the right time to prune the flowers, and when can they be replanted (we are thinking of putting in some new ones where the ones that aren't doing well at all are at). Do roses need any special rose food or would they do well with Miracle Grow? I would appreciate any help I can get as I am new to working with roses. Thanks for all your help.
We also have roses in the side yard. Two of them had been cut down all the way and they never grew back; the other just never grew any buds, probably from not being watered or taken care of. I am afraid to cut my roses in the front down in case they don't grow back. Any other suggestions than this?

When watering Roses, soak the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches, do not merely sprinkle. When it comes to fertilizing your roses, Provide a balanced diet to your roses. See what your plant is deficient in and try to include them in the fertilizer. Timing is also an important part to maximize the benefit of your fertilizer so that the nutrients are available to the plant when it needs it most during the active growing and blooming stage. Order your rose fertilizer now to enhance the vigor of blooming in your roses.

I have had my roses for years. The only things I do to the is water every day to every other day. I prune them as the rose dyes. At the end of the season I cut them down all the way. The following year they come back better than ever. This has been working for some time.
