Advice for transplanting Knockout Roses (Raleigh NC)

10 years ago

I have 3 yellow knockout rose bushes that I planted 2 springs ago @ our leased home and now we are moving. We reside in the Raleigh NC area and weather has turned back to very comfortable for this past week, and will be reaching upwards of 75 for the next few days. I am pondering digging these up to move them with us. We do not close until the end of December and will be slowly moving during the whole month of January. Weather conditions unknown, of course, but certainly more wintery than current conditions. What is the best way to go about this - do I dig them up and replant in a large enough pot, to bring them inside until next spring, or do I create "bare root" stock and go that route. Do I prune them back extensively or wait? They are roughly 10-gal sized! Thanks in advance!
