It is possible that it was pruned too low or died too low to the ground in the winter. The rose bush you see is usually grafted onto different root stock. If the above rose dies the original root stock may still be alive. The growth that you see from the root stock are just suckers that will not flower. I'm afraid it's probably a loosing battle. Sorry.

Well since your bush is growing leaves that is a sign of a healthy plant.. You have three main minerals that are needed for a healthy rose bush, Potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. The Phoshorus is what helps it maintain its healthy green leafiness and also keeps it heat resisitant, so I would imagine that your bush is getting planty of that.. The Magnesium and Potassium however.. they are the "blooming" ingredients that it sounds like your soil is lacking. The magnesium is what encourages budding, this will cause your bush to create buds more frequently so that you have more flowers, however the potassium will increase the size, color richness, and overall quality of each bloom. One product I know works really well is a product by Scotts called Bloom Blaster for Roses, but if you prefer to go an organic way adding some blood & bone meal with a little bit of epsom salt to your soil, and your roses will do just fine.

Check this:
Need several things. Right climate, right soil, plenty of water and rose fertilizer as per package.
If you're OK on all of these, then the plant may not be a flowering plant. Roses are grafted and sometimes the graft is ineffective

If this is the only rosebush within 50 feet, then i would suggest getting a second and planting it nearby. Roses (and most flowers) grow better in pairs for pollination.
