Early spring is the best time to move them, however, in the case of a move the timing is not always perfect.

You will likely see a lot of canes drooping as the root systems are just not established enough to support all the growth they currently have. Prune off the dead portions as they die. Some of the drooping will improve in two or three days, some a bit longer. Moving them while in full growing mode is not the best, so losing some growth is very likely.
