I have used micible oil on my rose bushes in the past for mites, but I prefer a more natural ingredient to prevent bugs: ground white pepper. Dust as often as needed.

Roses like clean feet. What I mean by that is they don't like mulch and rocks and junk around their trunks, as pretty as that might be.

Prune often. If you allow it to become large and unwieldy, then it will be more susceptible to breakage. Any good lattice, if near a wall, or yes bamboo staking, will work. Whenever I clip a rose, or dead head one, if it's the last one on the stem, I prune it back to just above the first sprouting leaf. Yes, I lose some future roses, but it keeps the plant healthy, and also allows it to live through hurricane winds (keeping it close.)
