Why is this rose double potted? I have seen cacti, succulents and high alpine plants that all needed acute drainage grown this way but never roses. What advantage does it give roses?

I have seen double potting recommended for cold climates to help keep plants alive through the winter. I don't remember where, sorry. One writer suggested placing a potted rose inside a larger pot and filling the space between the two pots with packing peanuts.

Thanks Nastarana, I never thought of that I thought it might have helped to keep the roots cool.
