When to move too large roses

6 years ago

Hi all, I have some roses that have outgrown their space in my Zone 6a Massachusetts garden, DA Olivia Rose Austin, Kordes Bliss Parfuma and a couple others. Can these be successfully moved in late summer to settle in before winter or would it be better to wait until early spring 2021? Have any in colder climates like mine had success moving their roses in late summer without them dying over the winter?

Any suggestions and info are very much appreciated.

Sharon, I am planning to do the same thing. This growing season l will only move smaller roses to the new property, next spring I will move bigger roses. I can dig out most of the roots of smaller roses. For the bigger roses, I'd have to trim them down and pull out roots, it's hard to dig in a land of tree roots, they'd need more time to recover before the winter.
