Is it a climbing honeysuckle, or a everygreen shrub honeysuckle? :)

Im not 100% sure on this, but personally i would wait until the plant becomes dormant, cut it back, and move it then. But make sure to keep the roots moist at all times and try and prevent them from drying out :)

So around the end of November (I think) :)

Jamie is qquite right in what he says  :D

If you do miss the time though you can move it in spring as soon as the soil is thawed out. Just be careful that you don't puddle it in too much though, as the soil (usually !) is wetter then
