The bushes are only single stem, mabe two two stem, and about 3 feet

high. How does somebody move these? How deep are the roots? what to

feed them? and how much sun do they need.

Sorry, I made a terrible mistake in my reply.

I suggested that you not move the roses in the heat of the day; rather early
morning or evening. WRONG! I was confusing WATERING, which should be done
early morning or evening. Do not water in the heat of the day; the sun can
burn through the water drops to the plant leaves.

More misinformation from our IDF representative. Plants will be less
stressed if moved in the cool of the day, but water drops won't act like
little magnifying glasses and burn holes in your leaves, or the plant's.

What I meant is that TRANSPLANTING should ALWAYS be done in the late
afternoon or early evening, so the poor plant has a chance to rest overnight
before the sun hits.
