Default Optimal planting weather?

Hello folks--

I just got my roses from Wayside Gardens yesterday, and I definitely want to
plant them this week. However, the weather today is cooler (mid 50's) and
windy (15-20 mph), with nighttime temperatures around 50 F. Wednesday and
Thursday will be warmer (mid 70's), but still windy. Nighttime temperatures
in the mid 50's. Is this OK weather to plant?

Since I have 15 roses in all, it will take me 3 or 4 days to plant them all.
How should I store the roses I'll be planting later this week? For now I
still have them in the box they came in, wrapped in the packing material.
The roses I'll plant tomorrow are already soaking in water.

Thanks in advance,
