Question
I have been living in my house for nearly two years, and I'm ashamed to say that I've just begun to pay attention to all the beautiful rose bushes around my house.  They bloomed so profusely the first year, with a smaller showing, then next to nothing this year.  I've just recently begun to trim (prune?) them back, keeping only those branches with leaves still attached.  I've noticed that black fungus thing on two of them (identified with the help of your other advice on here), and one just looks like a dead stick - with a healthy poof of leaves and one rose at a time blooming.  The one that really worries me however, is the one right next to the spigot on the shady side of the house.  It seems the soil stays wet there, as there's no drainage, and insufficient sun to dry it out.  I'm scared at the prospect of trying to move it, due to my inexperience with roses . . . the leaves are sparse and yellow as it is . . . is there something that can be done for it?

Answer
Next spring revive your roses by cutting them way back to about 18 inches removing all dead looking canes to the base, spray them with  a fungicide such as Orthos Rose Pride plus sprinkle a handful of any rose fertilizer all around the base and also put some good soil around the base too to about 4 inches thick. That will help the rose to make new and healthy growth.
In regards to moving the rose that is too wet. Again wait until spring, I am assuming your winter is a cold one, cut the rose back to 12 inches and remove all dead canes to the base, have the new hole ready, dig it up and replant. Then make sure you water daily to keep the soil damp but not wet. Finally don't give it any fertilizer until after it has bloomed. I am not organic but I have found that a fish fertilizer is more gentle on a transplanted rose than a chemical one. Again you will see it come back as a brand new healthy rose bush. Don't worry about cutting it back to 12 inches as roses are capable of coming back from only two inches of canes.
