Question
We are going to be moving to a new home and want to take some of our flowers with us.  We are in the Hudson Valley in NYS.  How do we split them? And when do we put them in the ground at the new place?  Do they need to dry in a basement over the winter?  

We also have two mini rose plants that were given to us in pots as gifts and then we tranplanted into the ground,  They have rebloomed, but the plants are so small that we wonder if the can be moved and replanted at the new house, or if they will have to stay in order to survive.  When they were potted, they did not bloom.  The buds formed but dried up.  

How about royal candles?  Can we replant them now?  Or will we have to bring them in in pots for teh winter.  We also have verbena and stargazers too.  Would really like to take them with us.  Since the move is not finalized, it might be a month or two before the actual move, we wondered if the plants should be dug up now and put in pots or what to do with them.

Answer
You've asked a lot of questions here.  Let me answer them one at a time.  I'll address your first question, the one aobut moving (I assume) perennials to your new house.  If you would like to send the other 2 as separate questions, I'll take a good look at those, too, and see if I can help you.

Now, you have flowers you are growing somewhere upstate in NY, and you would ike to take these with you.  Sounds like a good idea to me.

Down here on Long Island, Tiger Lilies are still green and growing.  If you have brown matter sticking out of the ground and no more green growth, you can take these out of the ground with my blessing, and store (with soil) in a brown paper bag until you get to your new destination.

If possible, when you arrive at your next location, re-plant these immediately into their new location.  It's prime time of the year for moving, so you're in luck.  The only problem is your new Soil.  If previous owners applied any kind of Weedkiller or Grass 'Weed' or 'Grub Control' it would end up in your Lilies et al., and then you're in trouble.  Try to learn what if anything bad is in the soil for best results with your Bulbs and favorite transplanted Perennials.

Plants with fleshy roots can be 'divided' and transformed into new plants this time of year.  Simply take a garden scissors and cut generous root chunks, then place underground and hope for the best.

A soil test will get your new Garden off on the right foot.  Once you have those numbers you can amend and dream all winter long, catalogs in hand.

Don't forget Spring bulbs.  Tis the time to order Tulips, Daffodils and Crocii.  Van Engelen will sell them in quantity at sharp prices.  Brent and Beckys Bulbs are right behind them.

Repost your other questions, one at a time, and we'll look at those.  Thanks for writing!
