Default Banksia rose

Hi

I have a Banksia rose that I have grown from a cutting. It's still very
small ( about 3 inches high) and with only 5 sets of leaves but it's looking
very healthy. I want to plant it in the front to climb up an existing
trellis. Can anyone tell me (a) the best time to plant it out and (b) what
sort of size it should be before planting out?

Where is it now? In a pot outside or in the greenhouse? If the latter,
I'd wait till temperatures outside are a bit warmer, April, say, or even
later - the earlier you do it, the more careful you have to be to harden
it off to get it used to the new temperatures.

This is not an expert rose grower answer, but I would give it another
year in a pot and plant it out at about 12 inches high.
