Hi Toni, like with any transplanting you want to do it in very early spring or late fall. When you dig the plant up make sure you take as much dirt as you can around the roots.
I'd like to add, when you move it, water it daily for two weeks, unless you are having rain. This will help it recover from the move.
You can count about one foot of roots for each year of growth. So you may have to dig up to three feet out from the bush to get all of the roots. Cutting through many smaller roots is one cause of root shock when you transplant a bush. Best wishes ☺️

To avoid damage, lift it from under the root ball. Place the shrub in the hole to judge the depth. The top of the soil should be even with the surrounding soil. Transplanting hibiscus into a hole that is too deep may cause the lower part of the trunk to rot.
