Hi all, Hubby and I need to move two lorapetalum, some bush roses and a tulip tree (Japanese magnolia??). When would you suggest moving each plant and how? Thank you for your help!

Probably best to move now >>>>>>. Less extreme in the weather now.. I know it is hot there and it would be less strain now.. My views only.

Since Georgia is not too severely cold you can probably move the roses and tulip tree still, but it may be too late (Nov. 22, 07) from this point on for the other plant.

Thank you both! What should we specifically do to move each plant . . big hole, fertilize when move, water a lot? Any other suggestions?? All help appreciated by brown-thumb gardener. _________________ A rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Big hole nice loose/worked soil. A good first watering. Not too much fertilizer, or the roots can burn.
