Answer
The best time to transplant a rose is always when thy are dormant and then you will have no problems. So if you have very cold winters transplant in the early spring but if the winter is reasonable warm, then do it in the late fall. Outta The Blue will need sunshine to bring out the unique colouring so anywhere the rose can get about 8 hours of full sun will be perfect for it. The rose has got black spot because it is under stress and not growing well due to the fact there isn't enough sun. When you transplant it the rose will do much better and you probably won't need the Immunex.
