When is the best time to move a 'Handel' climbing rose?


Our Advice:

Autumn is the best time to move a rose, so it can produce new roots before winter. Mix some fertiliser into the soil as you finish planting. Firm well to stop wind rocking the plant. Trim the shoots back to half of their length and remove any badly damaged or broken stems. Tie the remaining shoots securely to its support structure.
