Where are you (closest big city, state)? I see buds on both of them, so they just haven't started really growing yet. They are probably overgrown, so you can cut back some of those wild branches that stretch out into the yard, and after they bloom and you figure out what you've got, you can prune them back more in accordance with the type of rose they are.

I would water the fertilizer in and mulch soon, after reburying that exposed root in the last picture.

Cut them back to about 6 inches from ground. They will do just fine with a hard prune.

Let us know whereabouts you live - they look about like mine here in z5 right now. As it continues to warm up, you may notice additional die back from winter, just snip off anything that looks dead. As Lisanti said, add some mulch & maker sure they are getting enough water if you aren't getting rain. Will be fun to see what they are when they bloom!

As mentioned, don't prune until you see them bloom. If they are once-bloomers, you'll be cutting off this years buds and you'll never see them bloom.

I would prune these more. I would also amend the soil. I make a mix of composted cow manure, peat moss, bone meal and some pedometer salts. Your soil looks dry and compacted, you need to revitalize it. Dig around the plants being careful of the roots and add new, rich material to the soil.

Sorry, I meant to type epsome salts. You can also take a soil sample to your county extension for an analysis and they can tell you what you may need to add to the soil.

So, I live in Marinette Wisconsin, I do have some mulch to put in them, and have put some Epsom water on them, do you have any other recommendations?

I'm with Mad Gallica on this one -- watch them this year and then prune based on what you discover. If they are once blooming roses, for example, you won't get flowers this year if you cut them back too much. Mulch is great -- compost under the mulch also would have been great. They are going to look a lot better when it warms up and they leaf out -- in your area roses get a lot of die-back every winter, but spring back pretty well. I'm actually amazed by how much cane on these roses overwintered.

I can see some dead canes on yours. Get rid of them. I cut my roses back pretty hard in the spring; it won’t hurt them. The large rugosa by the water ; I take a hedge cutter to that one! That long rangy one you have should be cut in half.

Shape this up nicely. You’ll have a stronger plant with larger blooms.

Lynartist, would you PLEASE stop telling the OP to prune her roses. She doesn't know what type they are.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned but the bed shaope/size is not configured for the roses that are in it. If it was a single rose, a bed would be a circle and the rose would be its center. Combining two such beds would require outlining (in one's mind if not with paint on the ground) each individual bed and then linking them together into an oval or kidney bean shape -- whatever works best for a given yard.

Yardvark, would it be best to put Lavander in between the plants as well?

I would wait until you see how much sun that area gets, and how the soil drains there. Lavender likes full sun and well-draining soil. It might look unbalanced, with the low-growing lavender and the ginormous roses (unless you are going for Grosso or Seal with the lavender). I wonder if there was a third rose at some point to fill up the middle.

Just because you purchased a house with an inherited garden does not mean you must retain all the plants in it!! That planting bed makes no sense at all nor does the placement of the roses in it.....why that very random placement in the middle of the lawn?

btw, as a point of interest, it never hurts any kind of rose to be pruned back hard!! At most, you might lose some flowers but will very likely have a stronger and healthier plant as a result.

Point number 2: Despite many rose growers' beliefs and practices to the contrary, Epsom salts does nothing for any plant other than address a magnesium deficiency.....should that even be an issue!! Save the Epsom salts for your bath after working in the garden all day :-)

Point number 3: Roses and lavender are not good companion plants. Other than sun, they share none of the same growing conditions. Instead use cat mint or hardy geraniums

In view of the contrasting opinions i would suggest calling a good local nursery to ask for local answers to these questions...the size and shape of the beds however is unquestionably odd...i like separate beds for each rose..no under plantings to compete for nutrients ..in hopes of future full and healthy rose bushes...

Wait and see what the plants are before making pruning decisions.

The point is to ID the roses before making decisions. Although the growth looks to be above the graft, these could just be Dr. Huey rootstock and if she prunes now she'll never see any flowers this year. Let them bloom, you can always prune to shape afterwards. There's no harm in that. I would put my faith in the amazing advice from the rose gardeners here before that from most nurseries where finding a rose specialist is hard to impossible. There's no way of knowing what these roses are before they bloom.
