Yes if they are sheltered from the initial extreme temperatures which would toast them. The remaining effects due to radiation are within the roach (species) toleration although individual roaches may die. That's how evolution works.

Sure. A nuke has 3 main lethal features: 1- Blast (high pressure wave). Roaches are more resistant to blasts than a person, but only to a point. 2- Heat.

Although roaches can tolerate exposure to radiation better than people can, they are not radiation proof. Given a high enough dose, cockroaches will die.
