Rose moved- wilted

    They did not all die.  Most wilted and recovered without dying.  Nobody had to cut them out. 

    Duh! Speaking of the preaching the bleeding obvious.

    @Jac19 please stop being so rude … @punkdoc was referring to the OP’s photograph. Not everything is about you. 🙄

    I would take @Marlorena advice over anyone’s, definitely cut it back hard and water it constantly and try not to worry roses are very tough.

    I never had to cut or prune.  The roses wilted and recovered all by themselves.  They themselves shed the leave they cannot handle and preserve the others they can soon handle.

    Cut back hard when moving,  it's the roots that are the priority, water well daily, best of luck 👍

    How are they doing 10 days later?  They should be getting better by now.

    The need for pruning for roots is not so simple.  If you keep the leaves on, they make food in the sun soon and send the food down to re-establish the roots faster.  The leaves that don't wilt or soon recover help the roots.
