Help! Mom, my potted rose, is dying.

About seven years ago my mother passed and was creamated. She had grown roses her entire life. At the funeral envisioned her growing into a rose bush. So I went to a local organic farm, bought a large pot, a rose and some soil. Mixed her ashes with the soil and grew a healthy roses for years.
About 9 months ago I moved and the roses got neglected. It got spindly with long branches with only a few leaves at the end. I pruned her about a month ago and since she has dropped most of the leaves she had left.
About the rose. It's in a pot that about 3 ft tall and 2 ft wide. I used a quality organic potting soil. She gets direct sun for 8 hours a day. I live in San Diego, California. It gets watered weekly but has not been fertilized in a year +. I have attacked a picture of a similar roses. Small white roses.
