Roses with short stunted stems, but good blossoms.

Are you asking why they are blooming this way?
If so, could be they are being dead headed too high. A cut to a solid cane will generally produce stronger blooms.
The plant itself may not be healthy. What have you been feeding?

You are certainly welcome.
I'm not familar with the food you named, though if you are following directions it should be fine.
Did the roses recover? Or are they still blooming on short stems?
Heat can cause what you describe as well. I wasn't refering to pruning rather to how you cut off the spent flowers, which I do on a daily basis at the height of the season. If you just pinch the flowers off instead of clipping at a solid point on the cane, weaker growth can result, depending on variety. Some don't care.
I hope they are doing better.
