I purchased two rose trees through mail order. They looked like dead sticks when they came 3 months ago, but I followed the advice of the seller and planted them and waited. They never did come to life so I have received a refund. Now I have 2′ rose branches growing from the base of the roots. How do I save these? I am a complete beginner. I don’t even know what “deadhead” means. They are in a flower pot.

No problem… every one is a beginner for a while.
Rose trees are the “Frankenstein” monsters of the Rose world. The plant you “paid” for is the stuff on the top, that makes it look like a tree. The “trunk” is a not so showy-wild-something or another type of rose, and the roots belong to a third plant, usually a climbing rose called “Dr. Huey”. The stuff growing out of the bottom, belong to the roots. If it is Dr. Huey, it’s a red climbing rose bush, that blooms only once per year. I wouldn’t save it, not ever.
If you’re a beginner, and want to try some roses, look at Rosa rugosa (Salt spray roses), they are easy to grow, and quite care free. Also consider miniature roses.
Good luck
I hope that this helps
