Pruning
While you cannot prune cistus you can pinch back the new growth after flowering to make the plants more bushy.

Sunlight
Roses thrive on direct sunlight. For best results, a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight is recommended. However, even when planted against a north wall (meaning no direct sunlight) roses can still perform well.
Soil
Roses need good drainage and a rich, moisture-retentive soil, with a pH between 6.5 and 7. If your soil is heavy and wet, you may want to consider planting your roses in raised beds. Compost should be added to create a loose texture with a high organic content.
Temperature
Ideally, your roses should be kept in an environment between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. As winter approaches, it's important to keep in mind that container roses are more susceptible to colder weather than ground plants.
