I bought a "Naomi" rose and I don't know what to do to keep her happy.......!

in Plants
Hi all,
I popped into Nutcutts the other day wanting to pick up a few delphiniums when I walked past a beauty that stopped me in my tracks! If I could have drawn my PERFECT rose, of the perfect shade of the pink, with the perfect shape etc, I would have drawn this one.
As I had been "on the market" for a rose anyway, I bought it immediately!
When I got home and started researching it, it certainly looks like she might be a bit of a high maintenance girl!
I have read up on it a bit, but I am still a little confused and wondered if anyone here had any top tips.
Perhaps you have the exact same rose? Or perhaps you know a lot about rosed and can throw some general high-level advice my way?
I am particularly interested in advice on pruning (when / how much etc) as that's something I've never done - and any other important things to look out for. Throw it all at me, I'll take my time to digest it...
She is still in her original pot, I was waiting to get some advice before deciding on size of pot and exact area (she will have to stay in a pot I am afraid, but I am happy to invest in w

hatever she needs!)
Thank you so much
Alex
