You re-sided the house!!! It took me ages to understand what you meant. LOL. I thought you meant you lived in your house and I'm thinking "well... yeah... of course you do, but that's no reason to destroy a rose!" LOL
They are grand in spring and then they suffer through summer. The garden gladdens when cooler autumn weather appears, and then the show is over when we have our first hard freeze. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to live in an area of the country where I could have roses blooming all year. I'd probably take them for granted then. I never do, here. I spend every moment I can outdoors with the roses in spring while they are in their full beauty.
Jude smells just as heavenly as he looks--maybe better!
I used to buy those minis in the supermarket. They managed the heat of our summers, but they were unappreciative of our winters. I could have helped them survive if I covered them from the cold, but my gardening philosophy doesn't include coddling. Those minis were so cute and appealing that it took me several years to wean myself away from plonking them into my shopping basket, hoping for a different result.

I currently only have one cream miniature in bloom - but it came from the supermarket labelled 'rose' so I have no idea what it is!
