    Attach some labels on them now with their colours ,height,spread etc,so that when you do move them you will know what colours and characteristics they are:smile:

    Good afternoon Oliver I respectfully suggest that around November to March when they are dormant would be the best time to move them,and you could prune them at the same time ,you could cut them back to about 12 inches ,and remove any dead wood,this is what I would do,then lay lay them out next to each other,decide what colour coordination suits you best,if you need any more help just ask my friend:smile:

    And don't worry your Roses are and will be fine,there's a lot of our experienced Rosarian friends on Gardeners Corner who will only be to happy to help, all you have to do is ask :blue thumb:;)

      Thank you @wiseowl
      So, do you mean that Roses should stand up by themselves and therefore don't need any kind of support?

        Good afternoon Olivier are your Roses Climbers or bush/shrubs,I cannot tell from the Images:) Only the Climbers and Ramblers will need support,bush/shrub Roses will stand on their own two feet quite happily my friend:smile: If you have anymore questions just ask away;)

          Hiya Olivier,I have a couple of 'wayward' shrub roses that I discretely 'prop' up mainly because I want to be able to stick my nose in them every time I pass but as Woo says it's not necessary as they can hold their own:dbgrtmb:
