I think it wil be fine. I have done this many time, specially with roses who have been stablished in a certain area and area harder to dig up. The rose may sulk for a bit and to me they always do no matter how intact I think their roots look, but it should be ok. Just keep it well tended.

@dianela7analabama - thanks. what advice have you got to give the best chance? I’ve mulched it now for winter. Do you mean in terms of feeding, watering etc? thanks

If your temperatures will be cold I would just keep it mulched. If it will still be growing then I would keep it extra watered for a bit. You could also add some compost or composted cow manure which will feed very slowly. When I have time I like add a few shovels of cow manure (just some store bought black cow) around each rose during the winter. They always look their best when I do this. I hope your Abe does great, it is a gorgeous rose.

Those roots look really good!
