Look for a bulbous section near the intersection of the roots and stem. If it has this it means the rose has been grafted, which is quite common for commercial rosebushes. You want to make sure the graft doesn't get buried. If it does the grafted section will die and the rose bush will revert to whatever the wild rosebush roots it has. You also want to prune any canes that appear from below the graft.
