I'm hoping you could help me. Can I save my bareroot roses. I planted a few bareroot roses, I bought at walmart & lowes. They where in a bag with soil and had new growth with lots of leafs. I planted them in the ground 3-4wks ago and the leafs are now wilting, some leafs are brown. Im scared they're dead

Sounds like transplant shock. Did you transplant it in Spring or Winter?
