Does everyone get their Austins directly from DA?
Hi Hiyamakki
Take a look at my David Austin's "Gabriel Oak" thread here you may find it interesting.

In my opinion there's nothing wrong in buying a "bare root" rose and planting it directly into the ground with a bare root you have the choice of where to plant it in a pot or in the ground.
Oh and I would add the 2019 Chelsea Flower show Gold Award Winner "Gabriel Oak"
to your list of coveted David Austin's
cheers
