Rose petal falling and drying

Hello Gardening experts,

I’m new at gardening so please bear with me if my explanation sounds confusing. We recently got some rose plants (container grown) and planted them in out backyard. They were planted in potting soil and as far as I ca remember we’ve been watering them everyday. They looked great for 5-6 days but now I see that leaves are falling off from the rose. It looks they’re drying but I’m not sure what exactly might be the problem. A few things I wanted to mention:

  • When we bought the plants they already had some flowers on them. They’re petal are falling off as well.
  • I live in California so it’s pretty sunny here all day
  • I haven’t use a fertilizer for roses yet
  • I haven’t added mulch around the plants yet
  • The potting soil is new and we had never planted anything before
  • We brought 4 variety of roses (hybrid tea and floribunda mixed) and all of them are exhibiting the same problem.
  • As far as I can tell, the stems and leaves are still green.

I’ve attached some images for reference. I’m disheartened to see the flowers falling so early and any help or advice would be very helpful.
