April was a bit late to move them I'd say. Keep them very well watered and they might yet pick up.

Thanks - I shall continue to water, I am hoping it is true that it is supposedly difficult to kill a rose.....

I think you'll be alright....hope this reassurs your wife lol

I would prune them back a bit too, Microlite, just so the root growth can keep ahead of the dehydration.

Good point.
