Is my rose dead?


Hi! This is my first post on Reddit, so apologies in advance for any mistakes! Also very new to gardening so not great with the lingo…
I put this rose in a raised bed last spring. It flowered beautifully multiple times last year but has done basically nothing this year except for a couple of leaves on one of the branches in early summer. It has since gone completely woody and doesn't seem to be showing much sign of life. I'm worried it's not had enough light and/or nutrients as the rambling rose planted about 1m away from it in the same bed has gone wild.
Is it dead? Is there anything I can do to ressurect it? Should I prune it right back and see what happens?
I have another rose at the other end of the planter which has flowered once, still has some green bits on it but is also mostly woody now
Any advice very much appreciated, thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚
