Bought some primroses in pots that are flowering now in January. Will they still flower in spring? Thank you.
Probably not. As the article suggests, they're only meant to be a short-term flower, although if you plant them outdoors after blooming, they may flower for you later on. Here are a couple of articles that may shed light on the situation: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/primrose/primrose-houseplant.htm

Have Primrose in small pots indoors. Want to transplant when weather and snow cover are gone. Will plants survive New England weather?
Little primrose pots are one of my favorite little flowers to enjoy in the spring.
Your plants would most likely not over winter in the ground in New England. They may be able to survive short cold periods, but not an entire winter.
The flowers on my primroses are in a pile around the plant. It looks like something has snipped them off. I have never had this before. What is it?
There are many possible culprits.
Are the cuts clean (rabbits - the likely suspect) or jagged (deer)? Are the leaves eaten?
It could be birds - sparrows in particularly love primrose.
It could also be insects - any signs of insects on your primrose plants?
Whatever it is, they are not eating the flowers, just leaving them scattered around the plant, having decapitated them at the top of the stem just under the flower head.
There are many possible culprits, and the culprits can just snip the flowers off instead of eating them whole. This is especially true with rabbits - they cleanly cut stems/flowers off at precise, 45 degree angles from the ground. Sparrows also are known to crop primroses.
My primrose look great this year; however, they look like three plants in one. Should I separate them in the fall?
You could separate them any time after they are done blooming.

Should I divide primroses after flowering or in Sept/October? Thanks.
You can divide them any time after they are done flowering. One of my favorite little plants!
Here is a link about primrose care.
I purchased some primroses recently but never got the chance to plant them. Now most look dead but still have colorful leaves on them. Should I discard them or still plant them? Will they revive after a time?
I would plant them - there is always a chance they will bounce back with proper care. You have absolutely nothing to lose.
