Winter Transplanting Guide for Established Roses in Austin, Texas

Best months: Dec-Feb. Pre-dig holes. If soil is good, no amendments needed; else add compost, steer manure, bone meal. Cut back by one-third, remove dead/thin canes. Move in cool evening. Water daily for 6 weeks (feeder roots regenerate). No fertilizer until new growth; then use liquid fish fertilizer. Mature bushes may sulk in heat—ignore and keep watering.
