The message
from Elizabeth contains these words:

We have a new garden ( well, 2rs old now ) in a new-build house. We
planted some roses in a new bed and this is their second summer. We
now realize we have put them in the wrong place as this bed seems to
be in the windiest part of the garden. We want to re-locate them to
somewhere more sheltered. Can we
1. Move then around november time which I understand is the best time
to plant "bare root" roses ?

Yes. Try to take them with soil in the rootball. It's not essential, but
you may avoid serious checks.

2. Move then to a flower bed that runs along the front of the house,
i.e. right against the house wall ?

Well, yes, but that's likely to be a bit dry, and roses like a bit of
moisture. I have one rose which is hard against a wall, and it really is
peely-wally - it's getting moved this autumn away from the shelter of
the wall.

It's hardly grown in two years.
