Why are my white roses dying after they bloom?

My sister has a white rose bush. It's fairly young and she planted it last year. It's blooming and all, but a few days, maybe a week after the bloom, the flower begins to die and petals fall off. Should she just go ahead and prune the stalks after the flowers bloom? If she prunes now, in the spring, would the plant grow more stalks and flower again this year, or will it wait until next year?
