I have found some great Pups at my (I think) gold Finger as well as one of my Gran Nain. Even though I will experiment with both to see if I can keep some p-stem alive during winter it is still a gamble since I live in north Dallas.
Depending on web site i check it is either zone 7b or 8a.

I want to try and keep one pup of each alive during winter in case my experiment with p-stem fails.
But since I will be traveling for over two weeks in beginning of July I was wondering if I should dig up the pups now or after I get back?
When is too late to dig up a pup or is there something like a pup too big?
I am not concerned about the Gran Nain since there is 0% probability of it flowering this year given it's size even though it grows great!

But the gold Finger I have a p-stem of almost 6 feet since it grew in my garage last winter so I dont want to risk it in case it does decide to bloom.
So can I wait until I get back or what is your recommendation?
