I know almost nothing about roses. I have a miniature rose in my perennial bed that needs to be moved to better location. When is the best time to do this? |

After it goes completely dormant. Miniature roses are just like standard size but littler and usually self-rooted.

Thanks. I've been reading up a little on roses. I bought it years ago because it was cute, but larger perennials are crowding it out now. |

As Daisy said, when it's dormant you can move it. It should wake up in the spring and not even know it was moved. Make sure you dig as big a root ball as possible and keep it intact for the move. The less you disturb the roots the better. |
