Question Who knows how to care for roses?

I have a rose (climbing) - Starlight express, in a biggish wooden container with trellis, it sits in a spot where it gets sun in the afternoon, all is going well, I've soapy watered my NUMEROUS aphids grrr, and its starting to show some flowers (prob be out by the end of the month.) It looks like its a cutting from an existing rose plant or something but new growth has been ok and it looks to be healthy at the moment.

Now, I don't know squat about roses, it gets watered every day as it's in a container, I don't have the option to plant it in the ground properly, so how can I best look after it in the container to ensure it lasts a few years.
