My young rose bush is looking dry and leaves are turning yellow. I’m giving it more water because it’s so hot. I’v Fed it miracle grow and fertilizer. I’m now collecting coffee grounds to put around the base. Am I doing the right thing or is there something else I could do

Have you tried mulching it? Also too much water will cause the leaves to turn yellow and dry up.
Roses don't need much water. In fact, too much water will cause them to wilt and get fungal issues. I live in Texas, so it is 100 degrees now. I haven't watered mine. Here are some of my easy tips for keeping my roses bushes healthy and blooming: https://chemistrycachet.com/tips-for-making-your-rose-blooms-big-beautiful-and-healthy/
Take pictures,and leaves to your local nursary. They are a great source of help. I fear you are over feeding it.
Sounds like your killing it with kindness. First stop fertilizing it. Second, I would back off on the watering, put a drip irrigation bottle on it, and some mulch bark to retain water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A31y7FvTs3I I hang them from those garden hooks I get at the Dollar Tree. If it drys out too fast, I would add some layers of wet newspaper under the mulch to retain the water.
Thank you everyone I will definitely cut back on the water. I only fertilized it when I put them in a month ago. And I did also mulch them. One is doing great the other not so good
