When is a good time to transplant a Rose of Sharon plant? (I am in Zone 7). Is
it better now, or early spring?

It is always better to transplant in fall so the roots have time to repair
themselves before the ground freezes. It's easier for them to recover over the
winter, than it is to withstand the heat of summer.

I don't know about the fall but my parents have transplanted Rose of
Sharon from house to house whenever they moved for longer than I'm alive
and they claim that the spring is the best time to transplant them. I'm
in Zone 5, Chicago so things might be better down south.
