Pruning And Transplanting A Rose Bush
Roses are popular landscape and garden plants with beautiful blossoms in a variety of colors. Shrub roses grow 2 to 3 feet tall and carpet roses grow only 1 1/2 feet tall. Bush roses grow 2 to 5 feet high and climbing rose vines reach up to 20 feet long. Rose bushes need at least 5 hours of direct sunlight a day to grow and bloom properly. They produce weak growth when grown in the wrong location. The best solution is to transplant the rose bush.

How To Transplant The Rose Bush
Tips
Roses should be transplanted only when they are dormant in the late fall or spring before new growth starts. Moving a rose bush during the growing season could cause transplant shock. The rose bush will loose its leaves, not blossom well and even die if effected by transplant shock.
Warning
Severe cold is not good for rose bushes. Provide winter protection by mounding straw and leaves around the rose bush. Create a pile that is 10 inches high in late fall after the first hard frost and the rose bush has gone to sleep for the winter.
