How????Everything has a lifespan. Why not take some cuttings and have a very young identical rose?
Here are a couple of links that will be helpfull.How????
You could still do it. Can we have a pic of the green shoots in close up please? I lot of people buy their roses bare root - much cheaper, but you don't know if they are dead if you are a novice! You need to cut strategically so that enough material is included. Or sterilise the compost and incorporate some sand or perlite to make the compost free-draining and pot the whole thing up. Don't be scared as we have all been there! You can do it.
It is alive. I would trim off the bits like this

I guess you might be scared cutting anything off.
I am going to call for the rose expert @marlingardener to give you proper advice. Ring, ring! @marlingardener , your phone is ringing! Hehe!
See they are all below. The top all looks dead.
