Bare root roses

Am I right in thinking this is a good time to purchase and plant bare root roses? If not, when is the best time please?
Apologies if this has been asked recently but I couldn't find anything. Recommendations as to where to purchase would also be useful. Many thanks

I've just received a bare root rose, but at the moment the soil is frozen so l'm unable to plant it.
The forecast by early next week is for mild if windy weather, so at least l'll be able to heel it in for a week or so until l decide on its final location.
In the meantime what is the best thing for me to do with it ? I keep reading conflicting advice, leave the roots to soak, put inin the garage, etc.
Many thanks for any advice
Hopefully l can get it in the ground Monday or Tuesday, even if only in a temporary position.
