The green parts are certainly alive. Some of the brown parts are a bit dead looking but it's hard to tell for sure. It would be a good idea to clean up the bad cuts on the broken branch or they'll let a fungus in. Cut with sharp, clean secateurs. The soil looks like it's really dry aside from where you put a small amount of water. Did you plant it to the same depth as it was when you received the plant and did you give it a thorough watering after doing so?

Just plant it and give it a good pruning. It looks fine.

I agree. It looks fine. Once it starts to leaf out, prune off the dead canes. Is it kept inside? May want to get into the sunshine to help it get going.

I do keep it outside. I am suppose to be selling my house as I found out after I placed my order for this plant, so that's why it's not in the ground. I had it outside, but brought it in last night for this picture.
As far as if I planted it the same depth as when I got it.. it came bare root in some wet newspaper in a plastic bag.
So, should I prune above the green and get that dead off there?
This is my first time getting a rose bush like this. The ones planted in the front of my house were already established when I moved in and the ones I bought potted last year were already growing good and came back nice this year.
