Young Rose Bushes

Question

I started two rose bushes from a knot last fall. They are doing great and need to be moved. When is a good time to move them?

Answer 1

It is always best to move rosebushes either in the early Spring before they get real actively growing or late in the Fall as they are going dormant. I far prefer the Spring move as the Fall move is much higher risk.
