The Spain U21 international has largely been restricted to a place on the bench since joining the Trotters on loan from Benfica over the summer.
He has, however, impressed of late as a substitute and played a part in both of Bolton's goals in Saturday's dramatic 2-2 draw with Blackpool.
The Brazil-born playmaker admits it has taken him some time to get used to the freezing conditions in the North West, with the country in the midst of a cold snap, but is pleased with the way he is settling in to Premier League life.
"Last year was cold in Madrid and yesterday it snowed," the 19-year-old told The Bolton News.
"For me, the weather isn't strange at all. There's no problem training.
"I'm very grateful to have helped my team-mates out, for me that's the best thing.
"I'm very happy here. I like playing the games, all players want to play as much as possible. I need to be patient if I want to play more in the next few games."
Rodrigo has only made one start under manager Owen Coyle so far this season but hopes his showing against Blackpool will earn him a more regular role.
He admits the Trotters need to improve on their performance against the Seasiders, but the club can have few complaints at present as they continue to ride high in the Premier League table.
"It was a great result because it looked like we had lost but it shows the squad have confidence," Rodrigo said on the Seasiders stalemate, which was achieved after falling two goals behind.
"They scored two goals from corners, so we need to train on that so we can be better in the next game."
Man. City 1/2, Draw 3/1, Bolton 6/1
