How do I revive wilting roses?

I just moved them from pots into my backyard. It's fairly hot now (mid 90's) here in California (mid Aug.) Is it true I should prune them to allow for more root growth? If so, how far back should I prune? Several have many flowers or buds.

Summer is not the best time to plant roses,but since you did,give them lots of water in the early morning before the sun shines.Pruning depends on the variety of rose you have.Go to your local garden center for advice.Good luck.
Reply:The only time I would prune your newly planted rose bushes this season is if you want to cut a rose for indoor use or when an old blossom has faded. Other than that, keep the pruning shears away from them. When it gets really hot out, even the most prolific rose varieties stop blooming (and bud setting). Make sure you water your roses everyday if they need it. Avoid getting water on the leaves though. After this hot spell, you will suddenly see new leaf and flower bud growth. When a rose bush wilts, it needs water. Don't put a lawn sprinkler on it. Give it a good soaking, but also watch out so that you don't overwater your roses. Good luck on your new rose garden. I know you will have much success and enjoyment from your roses over the years!
Reply:Don't prune them, let them be the way they are, give them enough water - once in the morning, afternoon and everning. And always put them in shade.
Reply:I never prune my roses except in the spring and then it's just to cut the old dead growth back.

The roses will need water and a little shade at first until they are used to where they are planted. they should be alright as long as you water them daily and fertilize them bi-weekly.

Reply:They may be suffering from transplant shock. I think it is b11 that you use for that. Possibly could use some type of fertilizer depending on the soil. Prune them in the fall.
