cut slips and dip in root tone powder and put in a bucket with water with acap full of superthrive hormone by hormex and leave in shade for a couple weeks, check water level for evaporation and after a while when you see roots starting to pop you can plant them .
Reply:Dig deep and get as much of the root as you can. We transplanted 3, from an old house. they looked pretty sick for a while and now they are living. I have transplanted almost every plant I have from another location. The rule of thumb is


1st year sleep


2nd year creep


3rd year leap


have patience
Reply:Yes, any plant that has roots, can be transplanted, digging all around it so as not to bother the roots,with the shovel. wrap it up on newspapers and transplant it as soon as possible, and you will be able to enjoy it's fragrant Roses. also if in the future, you want to grow your own Roses, the flower has some seeds inside it, that you can start to grow, your own Roses,plant them in a pot, water them, every third day, and soon you will see the sprouts peeking through the dirt, when you want to plant them in the soil, it would be a breeze.
Reply:You can do both.
Reply:I would get as many cuttings as possible from it to try and propagate it before attempting to transplant it. If you are not familiar with gardening, perhaps a local gardener would be able to help you.
