transplanting rose bushes

Question

I would like to transplant some Austrian Copper rose bushes. Would I be better off moving them now in early spring? I live in Wyoming and it is just starting to warm up.

Answer 1

This is a great time to move them. I am in Colorado and the soils here are workable and thus a great time to move the rosebushes. Water them in once planted with some water that has both a product called Super Thrive and root stimulator mixed into the water, use a new batch of this mix the next four to five times they need watering. It goes a long way to preventing any transplant shock and gets the root system going well.
