Thank you so much! That helps a lot! I don't mind missing some bloom, as long as she survives the move. But I'll try to keep as much of her vine as possible, and plant her deep.

On the part about preferring more shade, would full morning sun for 2 or 3 hours be okay? I can still plant other stuff around her feet, but from about 9:00 to maybe noon, she'd get some sun. Also, there is usually a mild breeze in this area.

I have another place where she'd be in the shadow of the house pretty much all day, but it would be a bright open area, not deep dark shade. It wouldn't have the steady breeze of the first place, but nor would it be closed in.

I have two Nellies that have been climbing on a large bird cage. I may just put one in each place. I haven't figured out a place where the bird cage will look right at the new house.
