Default Do I remove the containers?

Hello, I have plants in what looks like recycled paper or cardboard,
possibly degradable containers.

What are these made of and should I remove these before planting?
My local nursery sells bare root roses in winter in those containers.
They say to plant in containers and they will degrade.

I don't plant the containers. I remove plants from containers and
plant normally. IMHO, the container gimmick is for lazy, trendy
gardeners.

When I remove container, I do it over large newspaper, because
there's a ton of spaghetti-looking paper-ish stuff around the root.
