It's a rose. Clean out the weeds surrounding it and break up the soil as best you can without disturbing the roots of the rose. They are temperamental and don't like being disturbed once they are in place.
Add some good garden/flower soil. Don't go too cheap if you want him to grow up to be a big happy boy with lots of blooms lol! Add the soil to what you have in place. Mix the new soil into the top 2-4" of existing dirt and then top it all off with 2-3" of the new. Bring the level up just a tiny bit from the rose (it looks like he' sitting a little low). Put some organic mulch down. Fertilize with Miracle Grow every 2-4 weeks. You can do a big prune when the temperature drops to freezing or in the spring, trying to get to him before anything really sprouts. Otherwise, you can feel free to snip back things as necessary or cut off a branch that suddenly zooms 2' from the rest! Deadheading will help him sprout more buds.
Roses don't mind getting a bit dried out and can tolerate sun and heat. You'll know if he needs water - he will look a bit sad, maybe a couple of crispy leaf edges. Water the soil, not the rose bush from the top as they don't like having the leaves sitting wet. Weekly watering is usually enough. Two inches of water a week (4 to 5 gallons) may be all that is needed. If the soil is sandy or the garden is hot, dry, or windy, more frequent watering may be necessary.
Watch for aphids or other pests. And watch for diseases like powdery mildew or black spot.
He looks like a good strong baby ready to give you lots of bushy stems and then flowers!
