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.

Hi
Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately I think I only have days to act.
Trying to take cuttings is the answer.
Not being a gardener this is fraught with danger
