Moving a Blooming Climbing Rose in Summer – Messenger Helps

Moving a Blooming Climbing Rose in Summer – Messenger Helps

Summer moves are stressful – root hairs (critical for water/nutrient uptake) are destroyed.

Keys to Success

• Dig deep and wide – preserve maximum root ball.
• Messenger (harpin protein): Spray on foliage before/after move. Triggers rapid cell repair. Mix fresh, use within hours. Spray, don't water in.
• Reduce top: Remove some branch tips to lower transpiration demand.
• Water thoroughly with rainwater (not cold tap).

Why Messenger?

Cornell-discovered protein that activates plant repair systems. Used by American Rose Society. Minimizes transplant shock dramatically.

Your rose will recover faster and grow stronger all season.
