saving a climber??

I need information/suggestions/ideas for digging, and transplanting a old climber..The rose is on our farm,It has clear butter yellow flowers, the buds are about 2" long, prefectly formed -almost looks like a HT but opens in to loose rose. I want to save it... I have been told it was a gift from my father in law to MIL, it is almost 65ys. old.. It has been nelgected, mowed, dug, eaten by farm animals and other abuse not mentioned! It has NEVER been sprayed for any pest or disease! It is growing in hard packed red clay. Has tons of small 'tuffs' of growth all over the area.. They grow and produce the same rose..Over the years, I have dug up a dozen or so cuttings. They grow beautiful in the pots but when I have transplanted them into my sandy soil, they die..

Now, we will be moving to the farm and I need help as to moving these roses to a better area w/ a fence all their own. HELP!! Tell me what/when/how to do this... and thank you...
