    Is it possible to move phlox now if Im careful. It is in flower but I really want to put a rose in where it is as want the rose to get a good start for next year. Im assuming with the Phlox I need to dig it quite deep and re plant immediately with a good soaking if its ok to move it or should I just slap my hand and LEAVE IT ALONE till spring and learn some patience leaving the rose in a pot for now. Its a climbing rose.

    Hello wiseowl. Of course I didn't keep the label. Lesson learnt. I think looking at my search history it is INDIGOLETTA and is a climbing violet colour. I got it in BQ for £7 and it had obviously been cut right back and Ive no idea how old it is but the pic I took this morning is how it is now.

    Cindy do as I say and not as do!!! :noidea::)

    I would move that phlox but it is a high risk strategy at this time of year esp in flower ...you won’t kill it but you will lose this summer’s flowers.....so be sensible and wait just a few weeks more and then plant your rose and move your phlox.:)
