Default Rose bush

In article ,
says...
I have a rose bush in full flight.
Unfortunately due to sewer problems my garden will be dug up soon.
The rose bush has sentimental attachments and I want to save it from
destruction if at all possible.
can any one suggest the best way to do this as I would like to re plant in
the same place after the building work is completed.
Thanks




You don't say how big/old the rose bush is. If you can leave it a few more
weeks prune it back hard and dig up a big root ball you may perhaps be
successful. I would try to strike a few cuttings as well as a back up plan.
