Moving and Replanting Cherished Garden Plants

Urgent Situation

Home sold quickly; need to move roses, daylilies, irises (some heirloom). Plants dug up today—need care and replanting advice.

Immediate Storage Method

Use cardboard boxes lined with garbage bags. Place roots in boxes, cover with potting soil, water moderately. Plants can be held this way for a couple of weeks but replant as soon as possible.
