The ideal time is the early spring (middle of March to the beginning of April), when the soil is soft and can be easily worked. You can also transplant in the fall; I recommend the end of October or very beginning of November. Many rosarians have transplanted roses here at any given time of year, though perhaps not in December or January. If you transplant in the early to mid-spring, the rose bush is still practically dormant and you therefore shock the plant less than at any other time. You also have the advantage of being able to prune correctly and inspect for obvious diseases, such as crown gall, root gall or canker. Furthermore, you will have ahead of you gradually warming weather and the growing season for regeneration of the bush. If you transplant in the fall, timing is crucial, in as much as our weather in the Tri-state area is so unpredictable. You need to pick the days in which the soil is still reasonably warm for the newly transplanted bush to reestablish itself before the cold of winter arrives. If you wait too long, you risk losing the plant by virtually freezing it to death.

The best time to transplant roses is the dormant season from late October to February as long as the ground is not frozen.

Transplant roses in the winter when they are dormant; be sure to cut the stems back to compensate for the loss of roots.

The Early Spring is the best if you what them to have a chance to live and take, as long as you don't cover the root-ball (heart) which will cause the plant to not bloom and die

Now... before summer ends... so you have... sun + water enough for the bush to grow in the new place.

After the first frost when it goes dormant.
