How to revive rose?

[Lemonsole]

This rose was an 80th birthday present for my mum. Unfortunately it has sat, unloved, in her garden for the past year, following my Dad’s death and her move to a care home. I’ve been clearing the house and decided to bring it home with me to try to revive it. Please, oh wise women: what would you recommend that I do? (Photos incoming) Thank you!

Plant in the ground, cut it down to about a foot high, give it rose food and water and manure. Roses are tough.

Was it a standard rose? Lollipop shape? If so if you cut it hard back you'll just get regrowth from the cultivar that was used for the stem and not the cultivar that was grafted onto the top. If it is just a rose bush I'd agree prune down low, plant, water and mulch. As it is so dry, when you have dug the hole pour a can or two of water into the hole before planting, let it soak away, then plant and water again and mulch. Also make sure the rootball is really soaked by standing in a bucket of water for several hours or overnight before planting.

I looks like it could be a hybrid tea rose. Does that sound familiar? Can you remember the name?

Anyway, I wouldn't prune it too hard just now, but definitely get rid of all the dead wood. As PP suggests, dig up, give it a good soaking and replant and feed. I wouldn't prune it back hard until early next year. And post some pics of it next summer!

Bring it home and put it in partial shade, give it plenty of water, treat it for pests and diseases, cut off the obviously dead bits. Next year, in mid-February, prune it back by half and plant it in the garden. Water it, especially if we have another drought, give it a rose feed and let it have a couple of years of unrestricted growth. By that time you should have been able to work out whether it is a hybrid tea or a floribunda, and can follow the RHS guidelines about pruning in following years.

I saved a free rose from Nextdoor app, which had hardly any root on. Several times I thought it had died but it managed to survive. My fault as I left it in a bucket & then forgot about it! Once planted into the ground, I watered it everyday and eventually it sprouted some new shoots. It's a lovely rose, white with a beautiful scent so I'm glad I persevered.
Firstly, plant it in the ground in a semi shade area.
Ive taken a copy of your photo and pointed out two new shoots, so I would cut on an angle to the top one as if that one doesn't make it the lower one might. Just a bit of insurance.
I would cut off anything dark brown looking as that's dead.
Good luck @Lemonsole and I hope it survives 🤞
