My roses coming back to life after May transplant

Well, I posted back in May about transplanting roses when we moved to our new house. I transplanted 53 roses and lost 3. Not too bad. I lost a tahitian sunrise that just never got going again(disappointing it was quite the performer before the move), a peace rose that just never got going for me at all at either house, and what was a magnificent Lady Banks yellow rose that I failed to get enough root of. The only other plant casualty was a little John Bottlebush. Of course that just meant I had room to add new roses, a Parade, a Queen Victoria, a Cardinal Richelu, Comtesse de Segur, Cecille Bruner, a passion vine, Nachodoches, and a species rose from my grandmother.

They bloomed some during the summer, of course my 2 Belinda's dreams were the first to start blooming their heads off, but it is starting to all come back to life.

Some pics.

And this is what the main flower bed looked like back in may after transplanting the roses and removing the rocks.
