I have 40 established rose bushes which I will need to move. This is
to
allow for a wall being removed and to make way for a hedge. For some
of the
bushes I propose moving them by a couple of feet (probably about a
dozen in
total) but for the rest I will be moving them to another part of my
garden.
I know that moving them is risky, but I would like to try and save as
many
as I can. What can I do to have the best chance of succeeding? Should
I be
moving them at this time of the year?

regards,

David
