Default Moving a climber

If this rose was being moved in the fall or winter AND was not actively
growing, the anchor roots are more important. However, at this time, the
rose is active, the
feeder roots are very important to help it survive the move.

If wind is a problem, use 1/4" steel rebar as a stake, as near the center of
the plant as possible and tie it with discarded women's nylon hose. The
nylon hose has enouth elasticity to hold the bush and not strangle it.

Once the root system is established you can remove the stake if you desire.
