Hi Rosemary,

I have the same rose and the same thing happened to me.  The first one I
dug up three years ago and it transplanted very well.  Bloomed the
following year.  The next time it happened I transplanted to a friend's
home.  It is doing well and is blooming this year.  This year the first
transplant had a 'baby' and I transplanted it.  It is doing well.

I am not a rose expert, I just gave them tender loving care and they
flourished.  Good luck with yours.  DO NOT LET THE SOIL AROUND DRY OUT!
