Can you elaborate a bit on the planting depth of the graft union? Why below the soil line?

HI there. I"m in Zone 6a, US Kansas City. I received two of my DA orders (8 bare root roses total) last week when snow was still on the ground. I soaked them for several hours and then heeled them in a tub of organic potting soil in my garage. When can I plant them out? Some are showing new growth and I am worried it's too soon to plant out. Our last frost is April 17. Thank you!!

Hello, sir. What is the purpose of burying the bud union? Does climate and planting zone dictate whether to plant it with the union exposed or not? Thank you, sir.

I bought a bare root Royal William rose in July last year, it was doing ok until last winter when it died. Can I remove it and plant another rose in the same spot? I believe it died because of the hard winter
