So that is the patio tree Julia Child I believe it is called, I have lots of pictures but I don't know how to upload more then one at a time.
Here is a picture of the wilted Tiffany. Those buds never opened up. I cut them off.
Are there any books I can download on kindle or anything? I watched a pruning series on youtube by a Paul somebody I think at Ash roses or something.

Here is a picture of the Mr. Lincoln that lost all his leaves and is growing back.

Hi, GunnersWife! Your roses look heat stressed for the most part. The potted ones should be moved to semi-shade if possible. Any in the ground you'll need to rig some kind of shade for them at least during the hottest parts of the day. Remove any of the brown, crispy leaves. They need more water too. In SoCal I know that's a problem right now but do try and water them as much as you can. I would hold off on any fertilizer for the time being. It's too hot and it could burn the roots.

Your Julia Child may have experienced some root damage when planting as well. This happened to me this year for the first time, my leaves turned brown just in the same pattern as yours. My rose recovered easily. As suggested, just keep them watered and they should recover. This isn't the best time to plant, better to plant in the spring or fall. The heat is likely stressing out the plant.

Is there any mulch down? I can't tell if that's soil or dark brown mulch. if they aren't mulched that will help a lot w/ retaining water. I agree - I think they just need some more water!

DEFINITELY mulch them. And yes, heat-stress.

Remember -- we have had record-setting heat for weeks now. I know it's worrying to water water water, when everything you read urges you to save water, BUT there are things you can do.

When I wash dishes, I use a dishpan. I use a very mild dish detergent -- "Eco-sensitive" brands. The RINSE water from all pots and bottles goes to the nearest roses outside the door.

When I'm done washing, DH carries the dishpan out into the garden, and empties it onto our less-sensitive plants. Not one bit of it goes to waste -- or goes down the drain.

If you boil corn-on-the cob (or other vegetables) let the water cool, and then give it to your plants.

That's exactly the way my Great-Step-Grandmother watered the roses in her farmhouse garden in rural Texas of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The minutes I spend outside, dumping rinse water gives me a quiet early-morning garden visit that's priceless. I'm sure it was the same for Grandma Mintice Cain.

Any roses that come up with spider mites or aphids get the dishwater tossed directly at them.

Okay I have been getting water to them and hope they will be okay.
I don't know if the potting soil I mixed with the dirt to fill my planters is considered mulch, is there something I should get to put in the planters that would be better?
I have a drip system that is for there and I am doing my best to get it to work! It is a slow process trying to get everything done but I hope when I am finished it will be beautiful and worth the effort!

GunnersWife -- Head over to Home Depot. Out in the nursery area, you'll find big bags of mulch. They sell "Western Bark" pretty cheaply.

Put it on the ground around your roses, 3-4-inch-deep mulch is going to help their roots stay cool and healthy. Anything in pots should also be mulched -- tho we like to use a more finely-chopped mulch than that in the ground.

Roses transplanted in full leaf will usually wilt, and especially in the heat of summer. If transplants wilt, give them shade for a week or two.

They look fine already. It takes about 6 weeks to produce a new set of blooms, so be patient and don't over-fertilize.
