My bet... is that this is a really broken down medium. Walmart is not known for their stellar care of their plants. Every time I look at their orchids, I get sad. Why do people feel the things need to be drowned? More water does not equal more flowers...
As far as roses go... they like a sandy soil, with good light, mine get sun for most of the day with some shade in the afternoon. If I can grow roses in a sub-arctic zone, and they were the first things I managed not to kill when I started gardening, then you can grow them too. Just figure out what they need and where you can provide that in your yard.

Someday, when I have my own yard and garden, Im sure I will try roses again. If only to know that i can.
