Depends on when your first hard freeze is. Any rose needs at least six weeks in the ground for roots to start growing. And, the shrub should be heavily mulched to keep the soil from freezing. Don't fertilize when you plant, as you don't want fresh green top growth that will be killed by a hard freeze.
