Ceramic Rose, any ideas ?

I bought it after Mother's Day because they were cheap, poor things are dying off basically as noone was watering these 'old stock'. It's a small rose plant, quite dainty, definately a mini version going by the size of the leaves and flowers (about an inch wide) . Anyway I have just bought a planter and think it would look nice outside but not sure if I can put it out there. It came with no instructions on care (can you tell I am not the greenfingered type) all it said was 'Ceramic Rose' and I don't have any idea what to do with it, but it looks too big for it's pot. I tried google but it came up with ones about painted pot roses, not living ones.

Any help much appreciated.
One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Plant it out in a sheltered spot in the Garden or a large pot on a Balcony, they never survive long indoors as it is too hot and dry. Outside it will survive away from hard frosts and may grow quite surprisinlgly big.
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.

    It was starting to die off inside, it was getting dried out, was watering it loads but just not doing anything hence the post, so I've put it in a big planter outside, next to the fence as soon as I read this, thanks for that :) hopefully will come back to life.

    Someone sent us a rose plant for indoors when we moved house. It wan't happy so I put it out in the garden straight into the soil at this time of year a couple of years ago and its doing fine - blooms the lot :D
