Some time in the future, transplanting roses may be on your agenda. There may well be a number of reasons for doing this. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, you’re best learning a little about doing it so there’s no hitches.

The primary thing to do is to find out where you’re going to move them to then commence preparing the spot. If the plant is left out of the ground too long during the transplant, the roots may dry out too much. If the plants is to be moved a substantial distance, say in the back of a truck, the roots will ned to be kept moist.

Transplanting roses can be tricky but with a little care, all will be well.

The secret to a successful transplant is water because a dehydrated plant will be less likely to take to its new location. When a plant is well watered, the roots will have time to adjust to the new position and the plant will not become as stressed.

However, losing some of the roots whilst transplanting cannot be avoided.

When you prepare the new area for your rose bush, throw a cup of bone meal into the hole where your rose is going to be planted. You should always plant the rose further out of the ground than it was before so over time, through settling, it will end up at the correct height. Using the bud union as a marker, it should be 1 to 2 inches from the ground. The plant will start to settle once you water it, and at this point you can press down on the ground near the base of the plant so the soil is compacted.

Some say not to transplant roses when they are growing.

Moving roses when they’re dormant is a smart move because it improves the chances of success. Also, their normally pruned during this time so they will be easier to relocate simply because they are not as big. If you plan the move correctly and make sure they have planty of water, you should not have any problems.
