It does not look dead to me - it looks dormant. I would leave it alone until it gets warmer in the Spring, and starts sprouting. Then you will be able to see any bits that actually are dead and prune them off.

I agree with Jacqueline that it does not look dead. Give it some time to break out of dormancy. From my experience, I noticed that some variety tends to come out later than others. I would wait a few more weeks to make sure.

lovetogarden was the rose grafted or own root. Either way next time to may wish to bury the rose all the way to where the branching starts. It helps get them thru winter. Thou we did have a mild one this year. Hope she comes back for you.

I would also remove that tag, as the roses grows it will scar the cane, unless that cane is already dead.

Hopefully it comes back ok...Best wishes!

I'm sorry I did not read your post correctly. I had the same thing happen on 2 roses last year. Mine did not survive but it was a good deal colder that winter. I was going to replant mine but when I checked wood by pruning it was all brown.

I really don't know if replanting would stress it to much or not. Maybe if it comes back you could plant it deeper in early fall.

I can't tell from the cane that looks purple on the right side, but the rest doesn't look good to me. I would pot it up to see if it survives. I'll leave it to colder zoners, but, dormant here means canes are still green, no leaves.
