My neighbor's sad rose bush came back to life in one month

I saw it every day and it was just a few brown sticks with maybe two leaves. He said he started giving it a special food for roses and more water, like a full gallon three times a week. After about four weeks, it had over twenty new green leaves and three pink buds. Has anyone else had a plant look dead but then get better fast?

Yeah that "special food for roses" is probably a fertilizer with a high middle number for blooms. A full gallon of water three times a week is a lot, but it shows how thirsty they get when they're trying to bounce back.

Tried that same trick benlewis mentioned on my sad hydrangea. The new growth came in so fast it was crazy.
