How to revive these rose plants ?

[asdf123]

I have a couple of rose plants in the bit of dirt in front of my house that was left by the previous owner. I have no idea what variety they are, and they current look rather lifeless. How can I bring them back to life ? Any suggestions please - I have never taken care of rose plants and do not know much about them other than just watering them. Thanks for any help.

Right now, in summer, I would water it and scratch in a couple shovelsfull of compost on top of the soil for now. In late winter/ early spring, when it is dormant, you can google how to prune roses and give it a pruning.

Then after you get it pruned, fertilize it monthly with a rose fertilizer during blooming period.
Once it blooms you might be able to figure out what you have.
