    It sounds like the top part of the rose has died. Likely it will not come back now. I would look for a new rosebush you would like to plant and buy it when you can get it right into the ground. You could try pruning the current rosebush down to about 3 inch long canes. Plant the rosebush in a pot about the size of a 5 gallon bucket. Water it in with some water that has a product called Super Thrive and a good root stimulator of choice in the water too. Water the bush with this mix the next 4 to 5 times it needs watering. If the rosebush does not respond with some new growth in a month. Then it likely will not.

    I really would look for a new location.

    The plants may do ok for a short time but over time the roots will compete and you could lose both plants.

    It sounds like you may have some fungus problems getting at the foliage. I recommend spraying the roses with a good fungicide such as Green Cure. It is an Earth Friendly product that works very well, I have used it for several years now. It is available from the Planet Natural website. Also here are some links to articles that will be helpful to you:

    I have found that watering the rosebushes with some water that has a product called Super Thrive and a good root stimulator both mixed into the water helps stimulate them. This mix helps them deal with many types of stress that the rosebushes may be dealing with. Water the rosebushes with such a mix the next 4 to 5 times they need watering.

    Rose soils can contain some wood chips to help break up soils that are high in clay content but it is not typical in all cases. The soils that have been prepared for roses should do just fine as a vegetable bed as well. Since roses prefer a pH level of 6.5 make sure that the veggies you wish to plant will do well with that level also. Here is a link to an article for you as well:
