Bare-rooted plants are available in winter - June, July and August. After August it's too late because they start to shoot and then transplanting becomes a problem.

I always do the majority of my planting in Winter chiefly because it`s when the dormant and bare-rooted plant material becomes readily available. If you`ve yet to discover these plants I strongly recommend you do so.
Bare-rooted plants will be more easily shocked than ones transplanted with the roots growing in soil. My father used to stick twigs next to the transplants to shade them for a couple of weeks when planting in warmer weather.
