One of them is doing really good but one is wilted. Is there anything I can do to help it hang in there. I've kept them watered but not over watered. It is a well drained soil and in full sun. They are about 4 feet apart so I know it's not the location.

There is a product call root stimulant. It is a liquid and you water it in. It helps in the shock of transplant. You can find it at most garden centers. You may want to prune quite a bit. Your objective is to give your plant more roots than plant. It will make it easier to repair itself and snap back. I would not fertilize for about three weeks, you want your bush to regain its strength before it tries to put forth new growth. Pruning really is the trick, it is hard I know because you do not want to loose your size of bush, but it is the best thing you can do for it. Once it snaps back than it will start to grow and you will get the size back. after it has re established fertilize with a food just for roses.
Greenthumb, greenlite, and fertilome are good brands but there are many. If you are not sure just ask you local nursery.
hang in there they will come back

I agree with grandma. The root system probably got hurt when you transplanted it. So use some root stimulant, trim the plant back, and keep it well watered but not over-watered. Adding some mulch around the plant should also help by holding the water in longer.

It may be getting too much water. The other plant may be in a different soil than the one that is wilting. I would suggest to dig it back up and baby it for awhile. Put it in another planter than has been cleaned with bleach and put it in a semi-shady area. Good place would be under another tree in your yard. Good luck?

put mulch around them, at least 2" deep and 6" out from the base. fertilize them. be sure they are some where that they get morning sun so that the dew evaporates quickly
