They don't like to be moved, so it will be a wait and see situation. If I were you, I would not fertilize it anymore this growing season. Water it until the water flows out the bottom of the pot, then let it get almost dry before watering again.
Happy gardening to you.

Keep it well watered. If it's important to you, you might consider pruning it now, even though it may lose next year's flowers (depending on what kind it is - whether it blooms on old or new wood), because it has a better chance of surviving the shock of transplant if the roots have less "plant" to support topside. Using a root stimulator in the first watering will also help. Fert-i-lome's "root stimulator", or Espoma's "Plant starter" are both good.
Plant it in the ground in your new place, if you live where there is winter. A potted plant above ground may not survive a harsh winter, as the rootball may freeze. If your winters are mild, it may do just fine in a pot - provided you pay attention to its watering needs, which will be more than a plant in the ground.

If you use root hormone it would be very helpful to keep it from going into shock.
