Azalea bushes only bloom in the spring. You can try pruning them down a bit to get rid of the dead branches. We did that with some of the ones in our yard and they are growing back beautiful. They should bloom nicely for you next spring.

Cut out the dead branches and trim the others to get a good shape. You can getspwcial azalea plant food, or use a general liquid feed like Miracle Gro.
Azaleas like an acidic soil, used coffe grounds worked into the soil is good. Flower buds will set in early spring and the bushes will bloom around April.
