RE: Hard-pruning the roses again
Often, it's not enough to just break the stock, dig around in the soil until you have found and removed it all.
I throw all my used tea leaves and coffee grinds at the base of the rose bushes but a rose fertiliser and epsom salts may help too. Do they have good drainage and are they getting enough sunlight?
Wonderful amount of sunlight, they are on the eastern side of the house and the sun doesn't go behind the house until about 2pm. I think that is part of the reason they are still doing as well as they are. I am unsure about drainage since they were here when we bought the house. I have not seen any sitting water even after a very heavy rain, so I am inclined to think there is. I will have to start saving my tea and coffee grounds.
Then I guess I'll have to go rooting. I will definitely wait until it's not 100+ outside :( Thank you so much for the advice @nikv
