Have 3 gooseberry bushes, would like to relocate and have decided where to.
Half guess I am too late in the year.
Yea or Nay ?

Just let the branches touch the ground in late summer after fruiting. They produce new plants that can be moved to the new location for a fresh start.
If you try to move them at this time of year you will have to cut them back hard so that they do not try to produce fruit while they re-establish.Near Worksop on heavy clay soil -
Kirk, I wouldnt move them now if 5hey were mine.
You will probably loose this years by moving them so late.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

As said. If you want a crop wait, if you are not fussed then hack back and move.Comment

Easier answer: Leave where they are as I am unsure, and buy some Autumn raspberry canes for the area I was thinking of.
Not bothered about fruit from raspberries this year but may as well plant some and get them in. Stops me changing my mind. Although changing it for one that works may be a fair idea.
Big problem - where and how to get.
