Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping service), the bare-root rose received is healthy. Planted near the 'Global Hit' variety, I am now patiently waiting for spring growth (or not)...

Description
The 'Honey Milk' Standard Rose forms a delightful small tree with a rounded crown bearing nostalgic flowers in successive waves, from spring to the first cold. This variety, originally miniature, is renowned for its floribundity and ease of maintenance. It offers bouquets of well-double roses of medium size, white on the periphery, tightly packed around a creamy yellow heart. Its impeccable habit and floribundity make it suitable for flower beds, patios, and balconies.
Standard roses are created by grafting a particular variety, such as Honeymilk, onto a straight and single stem from a different type of rose, Rosa laxa or R. multiflora. The grafting process is performed at a specific height, typically around 50-60 cm (20-24 inches) from the ground. Protecting the rootstock during winter in extremely cold regions may be necessary.
The miniature rose 'Honeymilk' flowers, gathered in terminal clusters, come from the polyantha rose, an old hybrid from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. Grafted onto a stem, it shows a characteristic habit and will reach a size of 30-35 cm (12-14in) in a few years. The 5 cm (2in) flowers, double, unscented, in informal cups, bloom in large numbers in small clusters from May to June to October. This variety has delicate dark green, deciduous foliage in winter and is moderately resistant to diseases under good growing conditions. Its stems bear thorns.
Obtained by Tantau (Germany) in 2002.
The 'Honey Milk' stem rose is best planted in a prominent position, in the centre of a bed, among ground cover perennials or low bushes, in a row along a path, near a terrace or even in a large pot on the balcony. It can also be planted in groups of 3 plants, arranged in a triangle, or as a solitary specimen on a lawn. It pairs well with perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, snapdragons or foxgloves. Standard roses are perfect for adding volume to beds of bush roses or ground cover.

Planting and care
Rose bushes need sunlight for 4-5 hours daily, but protecting them from the strong sun and wind is best. They grow best in loose, permeable soil that is rich in humus. The soil should be well-cultivated and rich enough, but they can also grow in any soil.
If you're planting them in a pot, loosen the soil to a depth of 10 inches and add a base amendment like blood, fish and bone at the bottom of the planting hole. Position the plant and cover the top of the root ball with 1 inch of soil. Fill in the hole, press down the soil, and water generously to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly during dry weather for a few weeks to help the roots develop. Use special rose fertilisers to promote flowering.
To make your climbing roses bloom more, bend and tie the branches during the summer. The branches can grow up to 3 feet per week. Each time you bend them, they'll produce a lateral shoot that ends in a bunch of flowers. Don't be afraid to do this; you'll have beautiful blooms.
In areas with harsh winters, covering the grafting branch of standard roses (also known as the "trunk") with a thick winter veil is recommended to protect it.
Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
