Hello, I’ve never transplanted a rose bush and need help. I live in Parker CO, Is April ok to do this? If so should, would it be early, mid or late April? Any video that you can suggest that I Watch to help with the transplant. Thank you Irma K

Thank you for your question. The middle to end of April is a good time to transplant a rose since the plant has not started to grow and the ground has begun to warm up. Be sure to prepare the new location in advance, I have attached links from the Denver Rose Society with information on that. I have also attached a fact sheet from CSU with additional information.
