I would include - when you remove the gravel, don't dig deeply into the soil as that can break the root stock roots, resulting in probable forests of Dr. Huey, the stock they are most likely budded on. Huey is IMMORTAL and any broken roots can often produce huge, vigorous plants of the stock. That's one thing that makes it such a great root stock for commercial production. As a garden plant, it's not highly desirable, but for roots upon which to grow other types, it's one of the best for the West.
Second, I wouldn't fertilize nor spray anything yet because fertilizers are the salt forms of the nutrients. Salts are the only form of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus and all other trace elements the roots can absorb. When you water a water stressed plant with salty water, it pulls the less salty water from the plant and replaces it with the saltier fertilizer water. If too much saltier water is brought into the plant, that's what is called "burning" it due to too much salt. They need some time of being appropriately watered to recover from the stress they've been under before hitting them with fertilizer.
Lastly, fungicides can easily burn foliage in hot, direct sun. Any type of oil (neem, horticultural oil, etc.) sprayed on the foliage is sure to burn in that direct sun with the reflected, radiated heat. I think you'll find the roses will probably be quite healthy once you provide the soil insulation and begin watering them well. That lush new growth should be free from most issues once they've recovered. That's the sun part! Again, congratulations and good luck!
