BlankAre there any roses that do well in partial shade?

Mary Lou

Hi Mary Lou,

I did a google search on "shade roses" and there are quite a few
results.

One really good one (that didn't say don't bother) was
http://logos.goodnews.net/~kkrugh/rose/shade1.htm written by Kent B.
Krugh. He talks about which roses he has had the best success with in
partial shade: "The hybrid musks I grow (Danae, Felicia, Penelope,
Moonlight, and especially Ballerina) as well as Gruss an Aachen are my
best repeat blooming roses that receive partial sun/shade."

He goes on to do tables of suggested shade tolerant roses from various
books ordered by rose type. At the bottom he then has a table of the
most frequently recommended roses for shade. This web page seems to be
comprehensive and a good place to start.

Happy rose hunting!

Hi Mary Lou,
Hi I did a google research on shade roses and I'm wondering if you can
help me on what types of shade roses I can plant and live well for the
North in British Columbia. It's zone 8-9. What I should do to keep
them alive and surrvive here in the North.You've mention some
wonderful shade roses, would they be O.K.
It would be a great help for me if you could respond any ideas.
Thanks.
