    It sounds like you are having major fungus attack issues. I recommend going to a site called http://www.rosemania.com and purchase a product called mancozeb. Spray the roses with this product every 7 to 10 days for a month, they should leaf out and come back. The spray does leave a yellowish powdery residue on the canes and any new foliage, but that is part of how it works. Once the foliage comes back, spray the roses with a fungicide such as Green Cure fungicide every two weeks or less often if not real humid in your area. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/

    You may not want to. The rose root stock that is growing can become a real monster and take over a garden area. Most of the hardy root stocks used for grafting roses kind of bloom when and if they want to. Here is an article about grafted roses for you. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/own-root-roses-grafted-roses.htm

    They should get along just fine. The marigolds will help keep bad bugs away. Keep them both well fed and watered.

    The white spots could be mealy bugs if they move. If the white spots turn into white powdery stuff covering the rose leaves it is powdery mildew. An insecticide spray will take care of the mealy bugs and a good fungicide will cure the powdery mildew, such as Green Cure fungicide. Here is a link to an article for you as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/no-blooms-on-roses.htm

    Unfortunately the best thing to do is dig them up and discard them.... See this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-rosette-disease.htm

    I would take some of your soils in and have it tested, this sounds like something is in the soils that is killing them. Either that or if the mini roses are coming out of a green house or store and then planted directly in a rose bed with hot direct sun, they are burning up due to not being used to being outside in the sun. They may need to be conditioned first by setting them outside in their pots for a few hours each time, increasing slowly the time periods over a couple weeks. Then plant them and keep them well watered as the root systems need to get established in their new soils home.

    Some rose blooms last longer than others. Yellow blooms seem to be the quickest to give it up. Newly planted rosebushes will also bloom and be done pretty quickly, this is partially because the root system just is not well enough established yet to keep them going. When it is cooler out the blooms will typically last longer too, when the temps are mid 80's and up the blooms will be open and done sooner too. Just keep them fed and watered well.
