    Mary Rose is a sweetheart of a rosebush, I love mine! From the David Austin roses, she is very hardy and loves to bloom. I prune my rosebushes back lightly once they have gone dormant. Then I wait for Mary to tell me where to prune her the following Spring. Once she starts to leaf out, she will show you where the canes have died and you can prune those out. That is when I also do a shaping pruning on mine. A hard pruning is usually not needed. Here is an article of mine on pruning roses for you but Mary is a bit different so I gave you my tips above.

    You can plant the drift rose this late but be sure to mound some dirt up around it when the frosts hit and send it into dormancy for the winter. Keep a close eye on soils moisture too as its roots will not be well set. I personally would plant the rose into a larger pot with drainage holes and over winter it inside the garage or in a covered/tented area up close to the house. Then in the early Spring plant her outdoors.

    Your description tells me that you have been blessed by your roses forming of a rose hip. The rose hip is the fruit of the rose and is filled with rose seeds. I am attaching a couple links to articles for you on this subject. Congratulations!! Links: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-hip-information.htm

    Moss will not cause blackspot as such, but will certainly harbour the fungal spores and should be removed. The best treatment is a fungicidr applied once or twice early in the season before the disease appears - also by now dispose of all the infected leaves.

    Nearly all roses are perfectly hardy and can be left out in winter, unless your climate is exceptionally cold. Best to cut them back to a strong outward facing bud.

    I would wait until early spring to make the transplant. It is just easier on the rosebush. When you do make the move, water the rosebush in with some root stimulator and a product called Super Thrive mixed into the same water. This will help get the rosebush off to a great start at getting established in her new home. Here is a link to an article I wrote about this as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/transplanting-roses.htm
