Hello,

Dug up a rose bush at the weekend as a peony was smothering it. I placed
the roots in water and deposited in the garden today, not far from
original position.

I added some bonemeal, multi compost to the dug up soil and carefully
placed it around the roots etc. and watered.

2 hours later leaves are looking droopy and I realise this is wrong time
of year to move a rose, but its not an outstanding specimen when "well"
and had to be moved.

Any ideas on what I should feed it (if anything) and should I water,
water and water ? Also if the leaves all drop off is there any
likelihood that it could perk up later in the year ?

Thanks.

Martin.
