Last weekend I bought some raspberry and blackberry bushes; they were packaged in biodegradable containers and each had one cane stick about a foot long poking up from the top.

I assume since these were on a shelf and not being watered that this means the roots are dormant. Will I be OK in keeping them inside in their containers until April gets here (that's what the zone information for my state says on the package, April-May)? Do I need to water them? Or go ahead and plant them outside and hope we're done with frost for the season?

They should be dormant. Can you pot them in large pots to protect them?
