Garden Q&A: Should I dig up rose bushes to grow in my own garden or take cuttings?

The best time to move rose bushes is between late autumn and late winter when the plants are dormant

Of all plants, roses are probably those most associated with garden fragrance.  File picture

Question

My late mother was a great gardener with a particular love of roses. She passed away recently, and the family home is going to be put up for sale. I’m thinking of either digging up some of the rose bushes from her garden or taking cuttings of them to grow in my own garden as a nice reminder of her. Which would you advise?
