Yes, because if it is not a rollover you are limited to the amount that you can contribute to the ROTH by your earned income for the year.  And it can't qualify as a rollover after 60 days.

Thanks for your reply, Robert. I didnt mention that I am no longer employed.

 So specifically since this money is from only my contributions , not earnings, can I roll it back to the Roth from which I distributed it on 2/26/25. (The 60 day period ends on 4/26/25)

You need to hand carry your funds for deposit today, tomorrow is not a business day
OR 

even if you have to open a new Roth IRA to meet the deadline it is still a Rollover.

You can consolidate accounts later.
