Thanks for your time and have a nice weekend.

I've never tried rooting roses in water like that so no real thoughts on that. I doubt they would root in rooting hormone at this point though.

Hartwood roses manner of rotting from cuttings is indeed effective. Rather it works under your mentioned conditions would be a thing that would be a delight to know if it would work but at this time I doubt it. Certainly worth a try if you want to try it just dont be disapointed if it doesnt end up as well as wanted

As soon as the groud is warm enough digout a smaller than a tree sized rootball shape for moving your roses I tend to go for a bare root combo type replanting with the area soil of rootball.Presoak the area of the plants roots with water to make digging easier see if you can find info about root trimming as well and concider this idea. prep new sight as a bareroot planting and make the move from spot A to new spot B prefferance for me is a some same soil and bareroot replanting combo depending on root size VS plant size root trimming may not always apply .
