Oh my! She doesn't feel well at all! Cut back all the bare stems about 4" from the ground. Be brutal! She'll feel better afterward.
You need to treat her with some rose dust for the black spots. I'd also first spray some Neem oil for any pests. Fertilize her with MiracleGro every 2 weeks until the weather gets cold. Mulch around her but keep it back about 4" from the stems.
Remove all the weeds, wood, etc. near her and the soil really, really looks like it needs amending before you do the rose dust, fertilizer and mulch. Add rich garden soil and some compost, mixing it all well with your hands and use it to replace a bunch of the soil that's there right now. It looks way too sandy for her to thrive.
You'll have to do a hard cut back now as Robyn said but as it grows back, you can control the direction it grows in to some degree. It will get little nodules and they indicate which way a branch would grow if you cut right above it. Decide whether you want it to spread out or grow more tightly and then decide where to make your cuts. I hope it lives but I have to say, roses are really hardy.
The neighbors cut theirs back every year leaving only about 2 feet and they grow back nice and lush every spring.
It depends on where you live. In the south, we cut our rose bushes back in Feb. You can do a search on the internet, by location.
I would dig out a lot of that soil (sand) and amend it with good rich garden soil and perhaps mixing in a little bit of miracle grow potting mix.
Cut it back as others have suggested.
I don’t know your climate. Do you get snow? If so you may want to burlap around the outside of the plant.
Also, if you cut dead blooms off in the growing season, cut right up above a 3-leaf joint. This encourages a new blossom to form.
I always dived mine by 3 and cut away One third every year and my grow great.
And it depends on what type of rose. Some must be trimmed right after they stop blooming for the season. If you wait until winter you might be cutting off developing buds
