Sad, sad, sad rose bushes this season in Milwaukee, WI

Sigh................. my best girlfriend (connoisseur of all flowers)would attest to the fact that I had gorgeous rose bushes--all 12 bushes. The last couple years, with the horrid last 2 Winters which I believe weakened a number of the bushes that caused rust on a number of bushes have made me so sad. The roses when they bloom this season are smaller blooms, takes forever from deadheading to the next set of blooms. It used to happen very fast. I would deadhead, get new buds & boom---lots of blooms. I don't know what's going on because I water more due to hardly any rain. They should be happier because the drier, mostly cooler temps. Because my mom is very elderly, I haven't done a lot of digging out older, less performing bushes & adding new ones. If she passes before I do; then we will not continue living in our duplex for long. I wonder if it is just me this is happening too. Did I say, SO SAD????
