We have three roses that have become rather lanky due to poor light
conditions. Advice about what time of year to transplant them into pots
would be welcome.

First choice: early spring.
Second choice: during winter while dormant.
Third choice: anytime if you're really very careful. :)

The problem is transplant shock so if you do
it while temps are hot, rose is actively growing,
you're more likely to stress the plant.
