If your roses are not blooming you probably don't have any of the original rose left. Commercially grown roses are grafted onto a wild root stock. Many times people accidentally prune away the grafted part only to leave the wild root stock which grows very long and rarely produces buds. Roses bloom on new growth, so a dormant pruning will encourage lots of growth in the spring. I have seen roses that were not watered, not cared for, covered in bugs and disease, and had beautiful flowers. I don't think it's a water or fertilizer problem.

First make sure that they are getting enough sun. Roses need at least 2-3 hours of sun a day. Also try adding some coffee grounds gently mixed in with the soil around the base of the plant.

nitrogine from manure would be very good , but be careful not to burn the roots. my boyfriend fishes and brings me the guts and stuff from where he cleans the fish i bury this stuff as close as i can with out direct contact with the roots works great.
