    As long as you get up as much of the surrounding soil and roots when digging them up, they should be fine. Wait till you're ready to move completely and then get your plants. It may also help to have planting holes pre-dug in the new location (with similar growing conditions) so you can replant your lilies as soon as possible after digging them up. This article will help with any shock that the plants may experience: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm

    It could be thrips. They are very small and hard to see and often attack the base of flowers. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/controlling-thrips.htm

    Neem oil or an all-purpose fungicide should work, though you may need to reapply every 7-10 days. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/learn-about-plant-rust-disease-and-rust-treatment.htm

    No, the daylilies need all their leaves to produce food.

    Yes, it should be just fine to pot them up and store them in your garage until spring. Just make sure they remain dry during their dormancy, as moisture may cause the bulbs to rot.

    Day lilies are extremely tough. I think you can go ahead and plant them as long as the soil isn't frozen solid. If it is, you can put them into pots and keep them in the garage till spring.

    You can store them in a few inches of moist (not soggy) peat moss in a container, such as a cardboard box. Arrange the daylilies so they do not touch each other in the peat.
