Plant shrubs now, or wait until fall?

Now that a lot of nurseries are beginning to discount their stock, I (perhaps unwisely) purchased Amelanchier alnifolia 'Obelisk' (Standing Ovation serviceberry), Ribes aureum (golden currant), and Arctostaphylos x coloradensis (mock bearberry manzanita).

Should I plant them now, or keep them in the nursery pots and plant them in the fall? I feel like I'll be babying them in this heat either way, but what is my best chance for success? They'll be on the northwest side of my house, so they will receive a lot of morning shade (and possibly even some in the early afternoon).
