Bluebells and roses

[skorpion]

I am very new to gardening and admit to knowing close to nothing. I wanted to move our bluebells from one side of the garden to the other. When can I do that without risking killing them off?

Also, we have a rose which looks well past its day. It's a climbing one but stands on four or five long woody legs about a metre and a half tall without any growth on them, then it's bushy with lovely flowers and lots of them. I want to get rid of it, but not lose it completely, can I plant cuttings? How do I go about it and when?

Thanks in advance.

About the rose, it is really difficult to plant cuttings. But cutting it down to within 20 cm of the ground could work?

Thank you. It's really old wood down there, with bits of root showing, I was hoping to get rid of that part... When is a good time to do such drastic stuff to roses?

I've just lifted a clump of Bluebells and re-situated them, I watered them before hand, carefully dug around them leaving plenty of soil still attached to the plant/bulbs and popped them in a new hole with fresh compost and watered in well, they show no signs of distress and are continuing to grow well
I agree you need to raise the cuttings in a greenhouse until they are established plants, and then plant them in their final position. I'd take some cuttings and then prune the Rose down to within 20cm of the ground, spring time is the ideal time to prune shrubs. Good luck! x

Thank you for advice. I think I will give the bluebells a go. Still not sure about the rose...
