When is the best time to transplant shrub roses?

Answer by  Josh41 (113)

The best time to transplant any plant, is when it is not in bloom, or about to bloom. The best time would be when (if) the plant is dormant, and not growing so that it's growth is not disrupted. If need be, you could also transplant the bush sometime after it has finished blooming, but the longer the better.

In most climates, it is best to transplant shrub roses in the early spring while the plant is still dormant (hasn't yet begun to produce leaves or flowers).

The best time to transplant a rose is during dormancy. The months of November and December have proven very effective for many gardeners, but the shrubs could be moved up until late February if needed. These time periods may also vary depending on your location.

I do all my transplanting in the spring once the soil has warmed up if you do it in the fall you take a chance on a heavy frost gtting to the roots.
