Transplanting Rose
Hi All,
My hybrid tea rose doesn't appear to be getting enough sunlight. I have a better location I can move it to, but I was wondering if its ok to do that now in zone 6, or if I should wait till fall. -Margaret -- \\ o o |\/ o\ o o Margaret St. John |/\ / Let it snow!! http://www.silverthorn.org/mstjohn /// |

s.com... Hi All, My hybrid tea rose doesn't appear to be getting enough sunlight. I have a better location I can move it to, but I was wondering if its ok to do that now in zone 6, or if I should wait till fall. -Margaret I tend to go by more what the current weather is like than by my zone. I'm in zone 8 (near San Antonio TX) but with the cooler temps we had this spring, I'd have been willing to transplant well into May. In previous years when temps hit high 90s in February, I wouldn't transplant any later than early March! If that makes sense ... If you do it, take as much of the root ball as you can manage (protects the roots), keep it watered well until you see new growth. If you can get hold of some seaweed, use it; I use that whenever I plant or transplant. It's a great natural root stimulator and a general "tonic" for roses. Also, depending on how radical the transition is from shade to full sun, if you're worried about the rose being stressed out that way, give it some temporary shade, like a small trellis or shade block fabric, something to give it a chance to adjust to new conditions. But I think watering is the key. Good luck - Gail |
