that doesn't sound a bad level. as Emily says they prefer it on the dry side, so anything higher might be annoying...though i'm sure they have ups and downs in the wild.Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars...

Keep your rose in a completely dry cage. No damp substrate. No misting. Keep a water dish with water and the obligatory rock in the cage for if and when it gets thirsty. Stop stressing over your rose.
If it's a baby with a leg span of less than about 3 cm you should keep it like all other babies, namely in a container with slightly damp substrate. You should keep a second unused container handy but completely dry. Check your baby rose carefully and often for mites. If you find any mites, dampen the substrate in the spare container and switch the rose to it ASAP. Clean the infested one and set it up dry with fresh substrate in anticipation of the inevitable infestation.
