A 2-year-old rose bush must be moved in 2 weeks for a house addition. Gardener asked if potting it temporarily and replanting in late June would work.
Roses hate moving during growth. If forced: have pot ready, cut bush to 18 inches (damaged feeder roots can't support more), dig wide to preserve root ball, pot it, place in shade, water daily, no fertilizer. Replanting later adds more stress. It may die. If it wilts, cut back to 12 inches to save it.
