some are grafted & some are own root, if that matters. one is
supposedly a climber although it's never gotten more than 3' tall in
three years.

also, i'm looking for low growing, full sun perennials for along a
walkway. i'm growing creeping thyme & chamomile between the stones.

Roses do not move well, but you can get better chances of success
during dormancy and the move is to a sunnier spot.
