Welcome to the forum, Krodri!
When possible, I like to put "valuable" new plants in pots since that makes it easier for me to keep them under observation.
(Moisture control potting soil has been found to be the best for pots here.)
The plants are kept in semi shade for a few days until they are more established.
Then the potted plant is moved to see where it appears to like it best.
I also hand water since this gives me a chance to observe the plants.
Many of my bare root plants gotten this year are blooming or getting ready to bloom.
I'd think a hot dry wind would be hard on new plants.
