I have a standard rose which looks very poor this year,can I cut it back and transplant it now or do Ihave to wait until November it's got flowers on and a few buds.

Is it in a pot or in the ground? And if in a pot, how long's it been in the same pot? What exactly do you mean by 'poor'?

Sounds like it needs some attention - roses are high maintenance plants if you want them to look their best - should be fed with a specialist rose feed such as Toprose twice a year, (April and end June, roughly) to keep them healthy. If you didn't prune it this year, cutting back hard won't help it as its a standard - prune at the correct time (end of February) next year.
