I transplanted a rose from a container into soil too close to established roses. It is doing very badly. If I moved it somewhere away from other roses, might it recover or is it a gonner? It's deep secret.
@B3 There shouldn't be rose sickness if there wasn't a rose there before.
Rather than disturb a root mass that is already struggling, you could give it some liquid feeds of rose or tomato food and a mulch of some well-rotted manure once its soil is thoroughly damp. A dose of Epsom salts would help too - 15ml salts to 5 litres of water. Use a rose on your watering can and pour it over the foliage. Lots of magnesium and sulphate so great booster for plant health.

That's useful to know @Eustace. It did well in the container for a few years and then started to sulk so I put it in the ground and it got worse each year
I had that trouble with a Graham Thomas. Planted it out as a bare root and it sulked. Dug it up and potted it and it sulked even more. I brought it with me when wemoved here and it sulked some more after being planted out again.
I thought it wasa gonner and bought a Pilgrim which I planted in the same bed and which has done really well. Trouble is, Graham Thomas spotted the competition and woke up, suddenly got healthy and vigorous - talk about contrary - so now I have two climbing roses in one 3m wide bed and their yellows are not a good match for each other tho both are fine with the purple Jackmanii clematis and the very tall thalictrum.
