I know around November is the ideal time to move roses but my friend is moving house and will be gone by July. She has a beautiful yellow rose she cannot leave behind. If she moves it now by digging with minimum disturbance to root, should she cut it back first ? and what are the consequences of moving roses at wrong time of year. Will it just not flower well next year or could it die ?
I have a wooded area in my garden which was overgrown and I have just cleared. I plan to plant crocus, bluebell and snowdrops but need some inspiration for summer interest. What else can I plant which will give color in the shade ?
