Questions about transplanting

    Hi there,

    I have quite a few plants I'd like/need to move - because they are getting to big and also are in the wrong spot - I'm wondering when is best to do it?

    an acer (about 4 feet tall and in the ground about 3 years)
    a watsonii (getting really big, can I split it?)
    an arum lily (in too shady a spot and very obviously doesn't like it)
    a old rose bush (this bush is about 50 years old and was my grandmother's and is in my family home's garden which we're about to pebble over to make it more manageable as we're not there all the time)
    a camellia (getting too big for the spot it's in)
    a bronze phormium (again, too big)

    I'd really appreciate any tips people would have, I can't afford to kill these plants!

    Also, I'd like to train a good climber, preferably one that flowers for long periods, is scented and maybe evergreen (am I asking too much) for a south facing wall - can anyone recommend one? My soil is fairly good and neutral.

    Thanks in advance.
