    You are correct. These little green things are rose slugs. Actually, they can be the larvae of several different insects but the result is the same. The rose will bounce back but several years of severe infestation may seriously harm it. Expect another generation is about 6 weeks. Damage starts at the bottom of the rose as they eat their way up the plant.

    Greenhouse conditions can't be replicated in the 'real world". For instance, they can adjust the type of light a plant gets: red spectrum favors bud formation. Fertilizer is adjusted as the plant grows. Higher nitrogen levels spur green growth and higher phosphorus and potassium boost blooming. It requires intensive management. Of course, the genetics of a particular hybrid rose also influences blooms as does the type of rose. Spring is the naturally the time for heaviest flowering. Roses are known as needing lots of sunlight; 6 hours daily is the lower limit. (They get much more in the greenhouse.) Regular feeding, dead-heading and proper annual pruning are all important. Here is more information on succeeding with roses. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/starting-a-rose-garden.htm
    Adding 1-2 inches of compost on top of the soil and under the shrub should be done annually. It does not need to be worked into the soil. An inch of water weekly or 2 inches if your soil is sandy or if temps are over 30C are necessary. When plants are stressed by lack of water or high temps, developing buds are the first to suffer.

    As soon as they have developed roots they can be moved.

    In a hot place like Dallas, rocks will heat up the soil. This isn't good for either plant. Elephant ears need constant moisture and perhaps afternoon shade in Texas. Roses like full sun as long as they are watered adequately, 1-2 inches/week. However, to keep the roots cool, use a wood or other organic (plant-based) mulch 2-4 inches deep. If you can detail what isn't going well or post a picture, we'd be glad to offer more help.

    Roses don't survive division. Your best bet is to start a new plant with cuttings. Here is a detailed explanation of how to do this. https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/southerngarden/roseprop.html
