Transplanting Rose of Sharon Suckers
Comments (1)They are probably seedlings. Mine have never suckered but I have seedlings popping up everywhere in a 8' radius of each. Transplanting them shouldn't be a problem....See MoreWhen to transplant Rose of Sharon
Comments (2)I am also in MI, moved a couple smaller RoS this last spring. No leaves showing, but they came back fine, one small 2ft, one about 4ft. If I absolutely had to move them this fall, I would do it as soon as the summer heat breaks and water a lot. Mulch well. Get them growing roots before winter gets here. I have had good luck with mine in moving, but have seen and heard of RoS not making it thru winter colds. Winters now do seem a bit warmer than in the past, maybe that will help if you move in fall....See MoreRose of Sharon transplant shock

Comments (5)So, while not ideal leaving the rootball exposed for an extended period of time, 25 degrees is probably not cold enough to have killed the roots on a Rose of Sharon. Root desiccation is also a concern but hopefully you dodged that one too....See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
