I have one comment to make here.  Because of soil conditions and 
temperatures, it is wise to try a nursery in your area that will know 
what the best roses for your area would be.  If you are going to take a 
chance on the supermarket roses (and we have, and we have had a lot of 
good results), know what varieties are hardy and not too susceptible to 
disease.  If you can't find out, try the nursery, get your information 
there, and then buy at the supermarket.  Whatever way you go, read the 
instructions for planting and follow carefully (even the supermarket 
roses have explicit planting instructions).  Good luck.
