"Pulled them out"? Literally? The best way to transplant is to just transfer the entire root ball to a larger container and add more soil media under and around it. Try to keep the root ball intact to avoid root damage. You'll have to wait and see if you damaged too much of the plant. It shouldn't take long if you did much damage. Sue

Water. Try not to skip a day, it is too hot there and the roots are not long enough yet to survive any drying out. The rose is still in "transplant shock" and will need time to get used to its new home and to settle in. Many people do remove the buds on newly planted own-root roses. First, they leave on one bud to allow it to bloom and to make sure that is it the correct rose. If you are OK that ir is Belinda's Dream then you can skip this part. They then remove all new buds until the plant gets to be more robust. Some folks do this for the entire first growing season in the ground. I do it until I feel confident that the rose is growing strongly. Much of the guidance for planting is really meant for grafted roses and colder zones. With own-root roses I usually plant them so that the entire root structure and a little of the canes above it are buried. Don't prune it, it is young and needs its leaves. I wouldn't do any pruning until next spring (when the forsythia is in bloom is the usual guide). When pruning before transplanting, that is usually referring to moving established roses with a large rootball. When moving new potted plants into the ground, I don't prune anything back. Fertilizing: organic or organic-based fertilizers work very well. There might be a product that is similar to Mills Mix that you can find in a smaller container that would do your roses just fine. Alfalfa (meal or pellets) is excellent for plants. I would say a weak solution of fish emulsion would be OK now, but the most important need for your plant is water. Fertilizing can wait. And from here I'll leave it to the all-organic folks for more recommendations for you.

I used to get "glue ear" when I was little. I had tubes put in five times. And now that I have used peroxide as well as an alcohol/vinegar mixture in my ears as an adult, I REALLY wonder if over half of my problems as a child could have been avoided if the d@mn doctor (ENT) had just told my mom to put alcohol in my ears every time I got water in them. I seriously think a lot of it was swimmer's ear. That said, do have a doctor check out her ears so you know whether or not the eardrum has been perforated. Even if it has, it was NOT necessarily the peroxide that did it. The fluid buildup could have done it. Both of my eardrums still have perforations. I have used peroxide during a bad earache, and even with the perforation, it can hurt really bad from the fizzing. When that happens, I just dump it out immediately. That immediate release of the fizzing liquid can also cause what feels like a "pop." Earaches can hurt really really bad, yet not cause the perforation. It's just such a delicate system, and pain is the body's way of telling you there's a problem. When you do go to the doctor, ask about using the alcohol and vinegar, as well as the peroxide. That way you have the doc's input as to whether one or the other is better in her situation. And don't let them put you off and say it's a waste of time. I've cleared up an outer ear infection with the alcohol and vinegar as well as gotten a great deal of improvement on an inner ear infection. It CAN work. I hope she feels better soon! A combo sinus/ear infection is the PITS! You might also try getting her to take some Airborne to boost her immune system.

Sure, you can prune pretty much anything. Or you could just leave it, and let nature take it's course. If the plants are close enough together that the root systems are competing, pruning won't help a lot. To the extent the root systems are competing, and there is mutual shading, the plants will just be less productive. If you pull or prune, they will also be less productive, because there is less of the plant left.
