Can you move roses with out putting them in shock?
Roses are not horrible to transplant. A few of weeks before your predicted first killing frost, prune your plants as appropriate for their variety, dig a big root ball and move to the prepared new spot. Make sure the new site is well drained, gets enough daylight and that the soil is loose and enriched (if necessary) with compost or well rotted manure. When the plants are in place, give them a shot of root stimulator to get their roots spreading before the frosts start. Mulch well, use rose caps, if needed, depending on the variety and your growing zone. Voila! moved roses.
Reply:my husband is no gardener, but he surprised me one day by transplanting a rose bush from the empty house next door to our backyard. he just made sure that he dug up plenty of the dirt around the rose, added a little sand to the new hole, clipped the branches and watered it well afterwards. we havent fertilized it or anything, and it has grown so big in the past year that im going to start clipping it and giving away the clippings as gifts.
Reply:I moved some in a dedicated bed. The spot was becoming a memorial garden. They wanted them moved, but not killed. I waited until they were dormant and watered them every day for about a month. Lo and behold they came back!!! Be very careful with the roots.
