In the next couple weeks, bareroot roses will be arriving in the nurseries. This is the perfect time to plant them because they get their roots established before spring and take off much more quickly than if you buy them during the growing season.
Need help choosing which to buy? Here are two articles that might help:
How to Select a Bare-Root Rose Variety
Disease-Resistant Roses for the Pacific Northwest (see the comments on this post for some fantastic suggestions by local rose-grower Cynthia Graebner of Fickle Hill Old Rose Nursery!)
Also, if you can’t find the variety you’re looking for locally, don’t forget you can order roses online at Regan Nursery. This is a very high-quality, trustworthy nursery here in California that specializes in roses, and they ship!
