Trying to revitalize a neglected rosebush - any help appreciated

Woe is me, my precious rose bush is intoxicated with what seems to be death energy. Not only does it have the stem die-back, but the two remaining leaves have the black spots and yellowing as well.
I'm wondering if anyone has any doctoring ideas for my precious plant. It's been outside all summer getting neglected due to a bout of depression but now that's over it would be nice to have my plant alive if at all possible.

Hrmm... I'm no expert on roses, although we have grown quite a few in the yard here. I would start by cutting off all the dead branches, and then trimming down the excessive end branching of the remaining green lines. From there, I would repot into a larger container with fresh soil, pay more attention to it and hope for the best! It looks like it has plenty of life in it, so I think so long as you start tending to it, it'll do fine. Roses are damn hardy.

I’d add, trim the roots a bit and make sure the soil is is good, if not add vermiculite/conditioners and some slow release nutrients like bone meal.
Get just two bottles of stuff to feed it every month or so. Liquid seaweed and fish emulsion. Follow the directions

Roses were one of the things I worked with when I was a live in caretaker for an old man with dementia.
So your pot looks like it's too small. Get a bigger pot or transplant it outside where it will get plenty of sunshine. Water the shit out of it if you transplant it outside. If it doesn't start to grow, TRIM THE SHIT out of the stems, cut it down to about 8 inches. Water the shit out of it. It will start to produce new branches and it will grow BETTER and more bushier than it did before.
Actually, that's a really good way to get ANYTHING to grow better and more bushier. Trim it way down , give it plenty of water and sunshine and it grows new limbs but better, fresher and more bushier limbs.
I know, I know....you're probably thinking it's going to kill it if you just trim it all the way down, but trust me, I think it "activates" something inside of the plant and sort of catalyzes better growth. And it might seem counter productive at first to cut something so low to get it to grow better. Once it starts growing new branches, it will grow FASTER than before.
One rose bush had never bloomed a single rose almost the entire time I lived at the old mans house but then the one day where I said "fuck it" and trimmed it all the way down to bare bones and started watering the shit out of it, it bloomed the most most beautiful small dark red rose bud I've ever seen in my life.
This is also a good thing to do with hedges that have become overgrown with huge stumps to the point that they are not "hedges" anymore but small trees, which you don't want with "hedges." So you cut them down to about 8 inches to a foot and let them grow new branches. The new branches will be bushier and will grow better and will be easier to shape than the old huge stems that were there before.

I would plant outside, trim back, fertilize, and water.
