Hello, I have a very precious (and, I am thankful, hearty) William Baffin rose which was given to me by my sister when she moved from her Robbinsdale home to a Nor'East high rise nearly ten years ago. Poor William B. has not made it through a "leap" year since, as my husband has changed jobs, and we houses, twice in that time. We moved to our present home in the summer of 2018, so it got a sort of half-leap year last summer, but now dear husband has accepted a job in Virginia state. We plan to take William B. with us, but he has grown a bit attached to his obelisk and I'm concerned perhaps the ground will not be warm enough to lure him out of bed before we need to depart. What is the best way to go about pruning back from the supporting structure so as to minimize shock to the plant? Is there anyway to safely thaw the ground around the root if it has not done so naturally by the time I need to move it? Most importantly, if we do not have a new home for ourselves and William B. to go to immediately on the other end, is there a way to force the root to go dormant? If so, how long can it be kept in that state and how must it be stored? Finally, when William B. does make the cross-country trip, how will he travel best for what is likely to be a minimum of 5 days out of bed? Should he be lightly potted into a container? Kept dry? Damp? Dark? Light? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
