    Hi. New to gardening section and new to gardening. I have a rose Bush in full flower at the moment. Want to relocate it in the garden as its hidden behind a apple tree. Have some questions please.
    Is it possible to relocate it or will it not survive the move?
    What time of year should I move it?
    How much area around the base do I dig up?
    TIA

    Roses are very forgiving and easy to move. Don't move it now though. Leave it until it has gone dormant for winter (around November - February). Dig it up, if soil comes with it that's fine, but it will move with just a bare root. Try and get all the root. Replant, prune it back a bit and it should be fine.

    Thank you so much much for reply. I will move it later in the year. Thanks again
