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.
A prime rib can be frozen, but it should be thouroughly thawed before cooking.

The cooking time for a 3 pound joint of roast beef can vary depending on the desired doneness of the meat. For rare meat, cooking time should take about 33 minutes. For well done, cooking time should be about 48 minutes.
Two or three hours should not hurt it. Maybe longer, but why delay?
