Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice.

I need to move an old climbing rose and honeysuckle from an old
neglected garden to a new position. They both must be really quite old,
and whilst the honeysuckle isn't looking too good for its neglect the
rose is still in pretty good shape (they must both have been trained on
wire supports at one time).

Any tips on how/ when best to go about it and what are the chances of
success?

Thanks

I don't hold out a lot of hope inmoving the rose, it may well live but
won't be a great plant, I'd take cuttings 9 to 12 inches long from it
and Line them out in the garden, planting them 6 to 8 inches deep,
that way you can start with new plants next year.
