You might try pegging one or two shoots down on the ground and see if you can get them to layer (form their own roots) as insurance against losing the parent plant before trying to move it

Dig it up! Fix your fence.
But be generous with how much root ball that comes with it. Cut off any flowers, (they'll die back anyway after moving). And I know it sounds daft right now, but do ensure that it does not dry out before October. Then do as Poaannua suggests and it will be fine next spring.

thanks everybody for your advice i think i will just dig it out and hope for the best after all it was growing between two fences so it should be relieved to be out of the shade and seeing some sunshine. thanks again

You should be able to move it now as long as you cut it back fairly hard. Leave some green on it and keep it shaded for a week or two after replanting.
