Transplanting Roses
The reasons for wanting to transplant roses are numerous. It could be because you prefer to give it more sunlight or it could be that you are just changing things around a bit in your garden. But, whatever the reason, there are several things that you will need to know before you start pulling your plant out of the ground.
You want to fix up your new place making sure it is the appropriate site for your flowers. It is also a good idea to surround the roots of the plant with a wet cloth so as to keep it hydrated even when you are moving the plant under the scorching heat.
Lots of H2O is also essential especially on the eve of the transfer. This will keep the plant intact and will have a better chance of surviving the entire process.
It is inevitable that a few roots will get left behind even when you try to uproot them from the ground as best as you can. This is because the roots go way into the ground with rose plants. This is not a big deal and your roses will be fine but again, only if they are well hydrated.
It is not necessary to prune healthy plant growth from the top structure in order for the plant to survive. The growth of the plant is important in the production of sugars. It only hurts the plant to cut its growth away. After the transplant if the plant starts to wilt at its tips it’s a sign that it is having trouble supporting its top structure. If this happens increase the amount that you water it and you can prune any tips that do not recover.
At a slightly higher angle than it was at its old location, set the plant into its new home. The new hole must also be filled with bone meal, and the soil must be free from pockets of air.
The best time to move your roses is when they are not in bloom, so as not to interrupt their growth and when they are trimmed so that they are compact. However, if you keep your roses well hydrated and follow the tips as enumerated above, you should be able to transfer your roses successfully irregardless of when you choose to do so.
