Default Transplanting Roses

We have a new garden ( well, 2rs old now ) in a new-build house. We
planted some roses in a new bed and this is their second summer. We
now realize we have put them in the wrong place as this bed seems to
be in the windiest part of the garden. We want to re-locate them to
somewhere more sheltered. Can we
1. Move then around november time which I understand is the best time
to plant "bare root" roses ?

2. Move then to a flower bed that runs along the front of the house,
i.e. right against the house wall ?

Thank you for any advice.

Elizabeth,

This excellent site tells you all you need to know about moving roses
and it is interesting to note that the author, like you, lives in the
North West.

I don't like the idea of placing your roses right against the house
wall, if that is what you mean, because they will tend to get damaged by
the winds. Give them some space.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Just realized that North West for the author is Seattle, but you may
still think that his advice is relevant to your needs. Sorry about
that.

Yes. Try to take them with soil in the rootball. It's not essential, but
you may avoid serious checks.

2. Move then to a flower bed that runs along the front of the house,

Well, yes, but that's likely to be a bit dry, and roses like a bit of
moisture. I have one rose which is hard against a wall, and it really is
peely-wally - it's getting moved this autumn away from the shelter of
the wall.

It's hardly grown in two years.
