Roses are not inside plants and if you try to overwinter it inside, it is a LOT of work. The plant has to be kept under growlights, washed weekly for spider mites and more. It is late in the season to plant roses in your zone, but the best place for it is outside. However, in a cold zone, be sure that you do not feed it any nitrogen until next spring. You do not want to encourage any top growth.

Since it is a new rose, you will have to be very careful about your winter protection. One option is to pot the plant up into a larger pot and giving it a place where it can get the most sun at this time of year. Then before the ground freezes, you can bury the plant, pot and all and bring it out next spring.

Good luck with your new rose.
