I bought 5 rose bushes. 3 are really small and the other two are 3 feet in height. One of the large ones had a rose on it when I bought it. Since then the flower died and I have not seen any new flowers on any of the plants since. All of my plants are in full sun. Is there some kind of plant food it needs? Some kind of trick? I see roses bloom for people all summer long. I want that to happen.

It can take 6 weeks to re bloom after dead heading.even the best of re-blooming roses
The real small roses could be miniature roses .
On very hot day the flower are burnt and wither in only a day.
They can have a rest in extreme heat give them time and feed up for next year .
They need watering and all round preparation year round to get perfection
also recomend joining a rose growing club in your area and will get help to get those blooms coming.that you want to happen.

Roses that rebloom usually don’t bloom CONSTANTLY, but more in waves. The bloom, those fade, thy grow new ones, those bloom, etc. What you can do to help speed up the process is cut off the spent blooms so that the plant does not spend energy making rosehips – the swollen pod that form after the rose fade, which is where the seeds are. It will then but it’s energy back into making more flowers.
And although you see roses elsewhere flowering "all summer long", it a rare shrub that does so continuously. The constant bloom you see in the neighborhood is most likely different shrubs in bloom every few weeks.
