Hi guys I seen a few rose Bonsai and like them , esp when old looking and big . Would it be possible to collect this time of year in urgency ? I realise winter is better but I’m afraid I don’t have a choice . What are the success rates this time of year ?

Waste of time ?

28 degrees here tomorrow ?

I do have an auto mister I could use to maybe help it revive .

I transplanted two old big rose bushes last month -then had some 30+ days. One survived well and is shooting- the other is sulking but still green under bark so some hope.If you can keep them shaded,moist and out of wind for a month or so then go for it.Cut back hard.
