Default Rose of Sharron Transplant

I have 2 pretty big Rose of Sharron plants I would like to move. They are over 5 feet tall and have been the ground about 5 years. Can I get enough of the root structure to move them or will I just kill them? Also when would be the best time to do this, I am assuming before they leaf in the spring? Thanks in advance for and advice.

It is the Hibiscus Type. The reason for the transplant is because I originally put them in the vegetable garden street side kind of as a block. 7 year later I want the space back. My current thoughts are to just cut it was back and leave them right where they are.
Thanks Everyone,
