Well first of all, I'm just sickened by the fact that you have the option of moving it to another location this time of year. My ONLY option for all of my tropicals is into a pot and indoors for the entire winter. Can you really leave your tropical hibiscus outdoors all year around? I'm so envious!
This maybe the best time to transplant it IMO. I'd say to wait if the temps were any hotter. I guess before I advise you further, I need to know what your hibiscus behave like over winter in your zone. ie. If they loose all their leaves and go dormant, I wouldn't move it as I wouldn't think it would have time to get established enough to survive winter. But if they stay green over winter and the root system will have warm enough temps to grow, go ahead and relocate it.
Here is a pic of one of my Molten Lava's, this will probably be it's last for the season sadly.
I just can't get over the fact that you have the option of leaving tropicals in the ground all year! We're running around like chickens with or heads cut off trying to get all of our various tropicals potted up and inside before the cool temps take a toll on them. Your so lucky;)
