How long can I keep bareroot roses
 

Folks,
Forgive me for asking this question... I am wondering how long can I
keep a bareroot in the bag that it came in. If I put it in the
refrigerator and make sure that the wrapping is moist, can it survive
for 7 months from now on?
I am basically planning to take a few roses to India (in
September). It would be good if I can take the bare roots as they are,
since that is more economical in terms of space. Big question is will
the plants survive for 7 months even inside a refrigerator.

Thanks for your reponses,
Best regards,
Debu.
