Also, I bought three "standard" form roses from Wal-Mart for $15.00 each.
The packaging says that
they must be shelterd in areas with very cold winters, but it didn't
define what "very cold" is.
Should they be okay in zone 7b?


Offhand I would not guess that anyone would mean zone 7B in describing "very
cold", but everything is subjective. You might try going to
www.helpmefind.com and searching on the name of the rose, if you have one.
Some of the listings there reference the recommended zones for the rose. If
your roses don't show the names, you'll just have to risk it I guess. But
again, I doubt anyone would be thinking of zone 7B if they were describing
"very cold".
