Two or three hours should not hurt it. Maybe longer, but why delay?
how long is pot roast good in the freezer before cooking
This will depend on how the roast will be cooked. If cooking roast in the oven it's best to keep the strings on to keep roast together for even cooking. Remove strings if cooking roast in crockpot.
1 wk max.

cooking time for 6lb roast in oven
Its a bad idea to put a frozen ribeye roast straight in the oven -- you'll end up with a really cooked outside and a raw interior. You need to defrost the meat and bring it close to room temperature to get the best results. Remove the roast from the freezer and defrost it IN THE REFRIGERATOR for at least 24 hours before you start cooking (you may need longer depending on how big the roast is). Once the roast is fully defrosted, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit out on the counter for at least an hour at room temperature before cooking. This process allows the interior temperature of the outside and inside of the meat to get a lot closer to one another, and your meat will cook more evenly.
