moving a climbing rose
I've got two that have been in a couple of years, a bit neglected. I want to put them in another part of the garden. They have started to show growth, is it still alright to move them? And up till when is it possible.
and do I cut them back. |

moving a climbing rose
With roses you can move them before they break dormancy which means
early spring or after they are done flowering for the year early fall. But in the fall they will have to have enough time to make new roots into the ground in order to survive the winter freeze. And again the same "rules" apply to trimming the bush. But you can also wait until they start to "green" up, to know which branches are still alive and which aren't. But for a heavy cut back that is usually done in the fall and I think the rule is to not to take more than 1/3 off of the plant for the first 2 years of growing or moving it. Since the spend the first couple of years growing more roots. And if it is in the early season with signs of growth you can move them as long as you watch them closely and water well and a bit of fertilizer they should be ok.
