Question about David Austin roses at Lowe's

I found 3 David Austin roses ( Lady of Shallot, Crown Princess Margareta and Lady Emma Hamilton) on the clearance rack at a local Lowe's for $10 each. They are in great shape, so I'm not sure why they were marked down from the original $25.


I am new to growing roses in FL and from what I understand roses on Fortuniana rootstock are what is recommended for us and these roses are obviously own root. What should I do/expect in terms of longevity, extra care, etc., if I plant these in the ground as opposed to planting in pots.


I don't mind taking a chance with these in the ground since they were only $10 but Lowe's has a few more DA roses ( Falstaff, Golden Celebration, Carding Mill, Benjamin Britten, Tess of the D'Urbervilles) at full price that I would love to buy if planting own root roses in the ground won't be a death sentence.
