When to move roses?
Comments (7)One comment why I move my roses in early spring, late winter; My experience with dormant fall moved roses is the same as planting a potted rose in the fall. Little or no root growth into the surrounding soil plus lack of soil settling completely around the roots seems to make it more likely to get freeze damage and die during the winter or struggle the following year if it survives. Those I plant or move in early spring seem to respond like any overwintered established rose and leaf out normally when the weather permits. It then has all summer to mature and grow roots into the surrounding soil. Just wanted to mention the reason for my madness....See MoreOverwintering Rose Tree/ Rose Standards (When to Move into Garage
Comments (1)After the first hard freeze. Won't hurt to wrap it as long as the wrap is removed early enough in late winter/early spring. Water when the soil appears to be dry or toss a shovel full of snow on the soil ocassionally. If the soil freezes, that's OK. Keep away from any outside light source. Place in a wagon or on rollers so it can be easily moved in and out when it warms up in late winter or spring. In spring, move out on days above freezing and in at night unless no frost is expected....See MoreWhen to move roses?
Comments (1)Thanks, I never plant or move anything during the summer. Even if I water frequently, most plants die from the shock combined with the sunlight....See MoreWhen to move rose bushes?
Comments (0)I have two rose bushes that I want to move. One was moved already last spring, but it got lost behind the hollyhocks that since moved in. The other looks like it's been where it is for a long time, but it's not thriving and is also overwhelmed by nearby plants. I heard that early fall is the best time for moving rose bushes; true? Any advice to help it go more smoothly and successfully?...See Moreslyefox
