Painting my shed in February?

Merilia

I ordered some bare root roses that I would like to grow up a trellis on the side of my shed. At the moment, I haven't put the trellis up yet, but I want to paint the shed first because it is hideous.

The paint I want to use says it should be between 50 and 90 degrees outside when I apply it. Unless we get another weekend like the last one I doubt we'll see temperatures like that on a sunny weekend day before I need to put the roses in (because I don't want them to break dormancy before I plant them). How much of a problem would it be for me to go ahead and paint my shed on the very next non-rainy weekend day we get? Will the paint simply not dry? Or will there be other problems like adhesion or coverage? I was planning to use some basic exterior latex paint.
