They'll do better in the dirt than in pots inside. Scarify the roots when you plant and give them a good drink of Root Stimulator (Fertilome makes an excellent product, direcions on container.) Your winters in KY aren't too bad, if you were in the north I'd definitely keep them inside.
good luck

If the ground is dry enough to dig, plant them. 40 or 50 degrees is nothing and the roses won't care.

You should be able to plant them, just cut them back dramatically. If you're that worried, plant them in a pot and keep them inside where it's warm. My roses are still trying to bloom and I live in VA 30 - 40 at night

I can't imagine that it's too cold to plant them. Survive some pretty harsh winter conditions. If you've got a good root ball I'd go for it with maybe a little root starter to help it gain traction quickly.
