Default Moving a climber

How can I move it without killing it? I know its "just" a lowly Blaze, but I
would like to move it to the other side of the rose arch, so it'll join the
other one (already in progress).

Here's four pictures of the project, and the roots in the way.

Bareroot it. What choice do you have? Make sure the new home is ready
or keep it soaking in a garbage can until it's ready. I've barerooted
roses in summer, and they survive. In the dormant season, they do
really well. You have to remove all the foliage and cut the canes back
to the length of the root or shorter.
