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 Moregranite- moving 72'' preformed countertops 3/4 inch thick
Comments (9)with no cutouts they shouldn't be all that fragile and 3/4" m,aterial is roughly 12 lbs per sq. ft. so your parts should be managable by 2 adult males. handle them upright like glass and be careful when you tip them down to flat, thats when most breakage occurs. If you want to be extra careful take a couple of "C" clamps and clamp a piece of angle iron to the outside edge using tape or wood shims between the clamp and the stone to prevent scratches. we have customers haul parts like that all the time in the back of pick ups without breakage. again, if you want to be extra careful ask a local fabricator if you can borrow an "A" frame. not sure how it would be in your area; around here almost any fabricator would loan an "A" frame just for the goodwill. maybe offer to leave a deposit....See MoreWhen to move rose garden?
Comments (13)If you do decide to move them now (which is what I'd recommend, but I'd hate to be the one doing it!), you need to watch this video by Paul Zimmerman. I'm surprised Paul hasn't chimed in here already :) I'd also think about using the anti-transpirant (Wilt Pruf, et al) michaelg mentioned, but I'd use it AFTER the roses are well watered. It will not only prevent loss of water, but it will interfere with the water uptake process. Now that I think about it, it may zero out any benefits. Anti-transpirants are mostly used to prevent water loss in winter, when leaves ARE losing moisture, but frozen ground prevents roots from taking UP water. Using it now may help until the plants can grow some new roots, but I think I'd start spraying the leaves with a good stream of water within a couple of weeks, to aid in the removal of the Wilt Pruf. In the summer heat, it should come off much faster than it does in winter. That way, you'd get the benefits of temporarily lowering transpiration, without taking the chance you're smothering them in the long term....See MoreWhen is a good time to move a young rock rose?
Comments (2)You have the hot pink native Texas rock rose! As far as I know, there's no wrong time to move these hardy beauties; just get as much root as you can, & water it until it is established, when you'll see new growth....See More

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThank you SoFL Rose... the nursery where I buy my Austins are like an Austin dealer.. 90% of their roses are Austins, so I know it will bloom in my zone.. they were in bloom when I got them and had grown alot. I did check the soil and the soil is fine.. I added some rose soil to it and replanted.. I'll let you know in spring if she puts on a show :)
Here she is in full bloom last year after planting.. grew tall but no blooms after that

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoFYI, you can move a rose any time of the year as long as the outside daytime temperature is below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Even if you accidentally cut off all the roots during transplanting, cut the canes down to 20", keep the soil moist, and the plant will recover. Keep it in a pot in the shade until new branches are formed before moving it into full sun. Depending on the variety, it will take anywhere between one to six months (or longer) for new roots to form, and up to a year for new growth, so be patient. I've had completely dead looking roses send up new shoots, therefore, I don't throw roses out until it's been verifiably dead for two years.
If the plant already has all its roots intact just plant it in its permanent location. As the temperatures creep up towards the 80's there's less chance of success due to cane desiccation.
Last May I moved 75 well established (10 years or older) rose bushes from Los Angeles to San Francisco, some without any roots, and lost only a handful of them. The surviving 70 are doing great.
