Where are you located? In the West? Some roses wait a year, when you move them, to bloom. When they do you can post more photos and get an ID here.

Hi Sheila, we are in the south Okanagan in Canada (so yes!). I will update on here next year if that is when they bloom, and sooner if before!!

Do you like our chances of them surviving? I have never undertaken this task before, cheers!

I think you've got a good chance. Just make sure it doesn't dry out. You don't need to water it everyday or anything, though, just try to water deep maybe once or twice a week for now until you see that it's alive and doing okay. Well, you've got heavy clay? Might be worth digging a good sized hole right nearby where you planted it and test the drainage, if you didn't do that with your planting hole. You're gonna want to make sure you didn't put it somewhere where it's going to drown in standing water under there.

Ziggy, I bet you have a good chance there in the Okanagan area. Please post photos when they bloom. If you are in semi-desert, follow through on the watering for sure especially the first 2 years after transplanting.

I'm not you and I don't live where you do. I have transplanted all sorts of plants and trees and have lived in several different zones over the US so I'm going to give you very general advice that would apply no matter where you live. First, good idea on your part to move these roses when they're dormant. That will increase your chance of success. In general, you can hold off on fertilizer (chemical) until your roses are actively growing and work on additions that will improve the soil, instead. I don't think you can add too much compost. Some mulch will be helpful. For the first year, figure that your roses will need to regrow their roots that need to find their way into your soil. Keep in mind that they'll need more care at first. Water is the magic rose juice. Don't allow your new roses to dry out. Keep your roses moist but not sopping wet. If you need to water several times a day to maintain that, then do it. Over time, you can reduce the frequency slowly. I remember at one time I was given a formula- something like, for the first month, water every single day, then back off to 4 times a week, then 3 times, etc. but a lot will depend on how much rainfall you get, how hot your summers are and how well your soil drains. I'll tell you that I've never overwatered a rose planted in the ground but I have lost roses weakened by drought. For the first year, your goal is survival. If your roses are struggling to survive, you may want to remove buds and not let your roses bloom till they're established. It may not be necessary. Watch your roses and let them tell you what to do.

I say: change Kes’ “can hold off on ...” to “should hold off on”.

Is the mesh for containing high-jumping dogs, excluding deer or soccer balls, or something else?

You said the magic words: “rootball intact”. When I moved homes after 12 years I moved 36 rose bushes to the new homestead. 35 survived and are now thriving in year three. It sounds and looks like you did a great job and pruning as you have will help the roots, which will not need to support as much tall growth as they adapted to in their original spot.

You got nice mountain view there! Is your lawn real? What's the secret?

Yes, the lawn is real... But I just installed the sod about 10 days prior to this pic, so it's still looking pretty fresh at this point 👍😉

Lol, beautiful!

Thank you 😊

Hi all, just a little update... We have life! Fresh shoots are popping up, and there are new shoots coming from the ground as well. Excited is an understatement 😁😍🌹🥀

That is great to see. I'd love blooming photos too down the road.

Great news all, we have buds on the big rose we moved, 6 weeks since planting. Let's see what colour it comes out!

Sooooo exciting!

transplanting is the basis of the entire horticultural industry ... so its never really about CAN it be done ...

its usually more about experience and timing .. with the caveat that you have to do what you have to do.. when it need be done .. e.g. if your putting in a deck.. its gotta be done ..

anyway.. im not familiar with this rose.. but make sure whats comes from below ground is true to name.. and not some rogue carp rose from rootstock ... in the meantime.. and green leaves.. will convert sun to energy to feed the plant.. to grow the roots to get established.. so leaving them there until bloom time is probably not an issue this year ... and then you will know for sure ...

congrats.. you ought to be as proud as you sound...

Hi all, exciting little update for you all... Both roses are blooming! They are both looking really healthy and I'm so excited they're doing their thing. I have no idea what kind they are (smaller could be an iceberg?), so any ideas would be great!! Enjoy the blooms!! 😊👍

congrats! So happy to hear they are doing well. I'm wondering if the second one is Above and Beyond climbing rose.

They really look great, Ziggy!

Thanks guys 😊 I am really happy they're doing so well. I had a look at the above and beyond rose, and you may be right! They do look very similar.

Just on a completely different tangent, I ordered a 'Gertrude Jekyll' David Austin bare root online back in April or May (I'm English, living in Canada, so of course I needed to get Britain's number one voted rose for my garden 🌹😍) , and unfortunately it was delivered late (it came from Texas all the way to BC, in very good condition), arriving on June 7th, which is when I planted it. Well, little over a month later it has its first buds!! I am becoming constantly amazed how hardy and resilient these amazing plants are 😊👏👍

I think it's fair to say that this transplanted rose has been a sucesss this year, seeing as it now stands nearly as tall as me 👍🌷

Yay! Watching your gardening ventures be successful always brings such a great feeling. Congrats.

Ziggy, that is so cool !! Well done!

It’s huge! It looks like it’s getting lots of what it needs.

Congratulations, Ziggy, ya' done good! Your roses look great!

BTW- I'm terrible at guessing the identity of roses on line, but is the second rose above that you transplanted Morden Sunrise? Shorter height, shiny leaves, yellow semi-double blooms with pinkish edges make me wonder if that's what you have.
