chelle said:I'd say you probably shouldn't use the Miracle Grow mix. It may have more nutrients in it than your plant can handle right now. If you ask a plant to make more top growth than the roots can adequately feed/supply it just compounds the problem and adds even more stress. I have no experience with the plant starter, I've never used it, so I can't advise you on whether it would help. Less is sometimes best when dealing with a stressed plant. They really just want to grow as nature intended; with some wet periods and some drier spells. Trying to figure out how much of each is best is just part of the learning process. 
Compost, as Rita said, is great! However, whenever possible I try to get my plant's roots growing into native soil first. Sometimes a plant will be lazy if it's over-supplied with goodies at the beginning and the roots will just want to remain right there...never going out on their own to get what they need. For annual veggies, this is okay and preferable because we want them to grow and produce as quickly as possible; shrubs and trees really need to stretch out those roots first for a long and productive life.
What are your temps like now?
(While I was typing this you posted a picture...to me, that plant looks just fine for a recent transplant!)
Thanks Chelle, but again that area does not get sunlight until 5:30ish in the afternoon and like i said, the ground is always wet, even when i refrained from watering it for like 3 days now.. and the flowers all fell off and yellow , seemingly dying leaves starting at the center of the bush.. Plus i failed to mention earlier that the vent for the dryer is at a 9 o'clock angle to the rose,maybe a foot away, to where when the dryer is in use, you can see the leaves of the rose swaying, so it is obviously getting hit by the dryer air coming out from the vent.But i am so excited right now, because i went out there and started working on the area where the stomp is, digging and pulling out as much roots as i can(ivy roots), so i can plant my red geranium, it is so noticeable that the soil there is so healthy compared to the other areas surrounding the house. It is almost charcoal black in color and moist and i saw 2 earthworm,(i actually took them and put them in my temporary composting bin). i'm sure there's more of them underneath,, so, i am now thinking of replanting the rose there, and i don't have to use any of the enrich composting soil, or miracle gro because the soil there obviously is naturally fertiled from years of leaves and barks decomposing in the ground. Neglecting that area from the former occupants for years and years will actually benefit my plants now..i think
The problem there though is, the giant olive tree was chopped down but it is still alive and so if i plant the rose there, i wonder if the chooped olive tree will just steal all the nutrients other plants should have? it was crawling with ivy before and my son and i cleared as much as we can, and today dug roots out as deep as we can,
