Before relocating the plant, be sure to water it first. it would not be easy removing the system so you would need to water the plant first. Most likely you will leave a small portion behind. You do not have to worry about this if you water your plant first.
The Groundwork
Prepare the new location before you transfer the plant. A 12-18 inch hole in width and depth should be dug. This is just an estimate. The hole should be proportion to the size of your plant. Prepare an area in which you can place your roses near the new location. This is very important as the size of your rose plant will most likely be inaccurate at this time.

Next step is to remove the soil from where the plant originally was and create a small mound at the bottom of the new hole. One way to evaluate the size of the mound is to place the plant on the mound across the top of the hole. When the mark matches the level of the mound, you’re there.
Setting up
Arrange the rose roots evely across the mound and fill the hole with soil. The soil needs to be taken from the original location of your rose plant.Make sure that you give extra water on the 1st day. After that you can continue with your normal watering routine.

Your plant is ready to be transplanted on the 4th day; just make sure that fibrous roots are removed. It is important to sheild your newly transplanted rose from overexposure to the sun for a number of weeks.
