i work as a maintenance gardener and have a project to replace climbing roses with clematis .. i would like to know the best way to approach the roses so i can pot them up, and then, hopefully, plant them in another garden .. none of these roses have done particularly well where they are, but i'm not prepared to give up on them .. i'm of a mind that there is a possibility of rejuvenating them .. can anyone help me with this? thank you ..

General moving instruction would be; Prune the rose back to knee height or so.
Dig around the drip line of the bush to get as much of the root ball as possible.
If you can do this in the cool of the AM or early Evening it's easier on the rose.
Water well. Resist the urge to feed the rose until it starts putting on new growth.
Climbers can take up to three years to fully come into their own.
Good Luck
