Winter Care and Transplanting for Young Roses in Mild Monterey Bay Climates

Monterey winters are mild; no winter protection needed. Transplant now: cut to 18 inches, water well night before, prepare holes, plant in evening. Water daily. If leaves drop, keep watering—transplant shock is normal. Prune annually to 18 inches in spring.
