It is normal for the leaves to wilt and the plant to look pathetic until the root system becomes re-established. Just water deeply once or twice a week and your roses will perk up. Don't overwater - that will suffocate the roots. Once you see new growth emerging from the stems you can prune your plant back to remove any dead stems or foliage. Enjoy your roses!
