| First, don't dig them up until you are ready to plant them - get the new place ready, then dig them up and put them right into the new spot, like in a couple minutes so they won't dry out. Second, get them out from under the roses CAREFULLY. If they are right up against the base of the rose, you probably want to do it by hand. If the yarrow is farther out, you could take a pitchfork and wiggle it slowly under the roots of the yarrow and rock it gently until you can get it out. I don't know of any problem in growing yarrow with your roses, as long as it's not too close, but you could check in the Roses or Antique Roses forums. |
