Vicki,

It depends upon the plants and the timing.

Transplanting, cutting and planting all are best done in the more dormant
times between November and January, secondly in the rainy/cool times of
Feb-April and Sept-Oct.

Native Roses, Asters, fireweed, mints (hedge nettle, stinging nettle),
devils club, vine maple, honeysuckles, Mountain Ash (native shrubby
varieties), Oregon Grape, and many bulb based perennials do quite well.
Many others, including most trees and shrubs require you get a big section
of the root ball and accomplish the digging and transplanting in the
between fall and early sprint.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me about specific plants.

Good Luck!

Paul
