The best way I can suggest is by telling you how I made the move. In August and September of 2001, I moved to a new home some 40 miles south of my old one. It was in the country and had quite a bit more land, 1 acre compared to 1/5 acre. As soon as we were settled in, I began the process of moving my 500 roses from my old to my new home. Because the beds were nowhere close to ready, I potted 30 roses each day (that's how many I could put in my trailer and car and transported them to my new location. The yard was already a mess so I placed them all in a large circle in the front yard and surrounded them with a snow fence. I waited until they went dormant then covered the enclosed roses with a foot or better of oak leaves. (My new home had a number of oak trees.) The fence was placed so I could allow a space between the fence and the potted roses for leaves to protect the sides of the pots. In spring, I removed all the leaves and pruned the roses in the pots. My plan was to prepare the rose beds and plant the roses over the following few months. All the roses survived the winter. Unfortunately a major stroke in mid March caused my plans to fall by the wayside. In mid June an army of helpers from the neighborhood, Master Gardener friends, rose society members, and members of my church, came one Saturday and planted my roses. There were no beds. The roses were planted in holes dug in the yard where I planned to put the beds. Over the next two years I managed to salvage most of them and put the beds in good condition. Most of the roses lived. I described the above to help you plan your move. With a little advanced planning now, you should be able to salvage your roses and move them. Be prepared to over winter them in a area where they can all be placed together for ease of winter protection. I placed an impulse sprinkler on a tripod in the center of the roses so watering wasn't a big problem. Watering is important as potted bushes will dry out quickly and need to watered frequently. up to the time the soil freezes and the bushes go dormant. If you have the option of waiting until spring to move your bushes, do so as soon as as you can dig and before they break dormancy. We saw this home and decided in mid June 2001 to buy it. Closing was on August 4, 2001 so we didn't have much time for advanced planning. The move was successful and were it not for the stroke, my results would have been much better. Good luck!

Your original roses have propagated themselves from roots left after transplanting. If your roses are grafted, the bushes will probably be the rootstock that was used by the grower--they usually are once blooming, small flowered vigorous plants that most people don't want as roses. If your roses were own-root, they are clones of the bushes you moved & you may wish to pot them up & plant them with the others.

I'd soak it in a root starter solution and plant in in a very large pot so it can grow in peace until planted into it's final home. Store it in a unheated garage or shed for the winter. It should not begin to grow until spring as being moved and the weather should have put it in dormancy by now. By very large pot, I mean 25 gallons or more. You may need a 2 wheeled dolly to move it but I believe this will give it a good chance to survive.

The time frame is ideal for transplanting roses.They are not actively growing.Dig all holes well before if possible and put mix of compost and bit of bone meal.If you pull your old roses out sooner you can place them in pots temporarily, although I agree with above same day, may not be possible.Make sure that the roots are well hydrated and in early spring just feed them. I always move my roses at that time and never lost one as yet.
