... Are there any roses that do well in partial shade? Mary Lou Living in a very sunny area, I don't have much experience with the shade problem but a google search revealed one link that appears to have some useful information: http://www.gardencountry.com/pages/shadeflwrs.html You might also do a google search of newsgroups since the question does arise. http://groups.google.com/ A recent (September or October '03 IIRC) issue of American Rose Society magazine listed roses that do well or ok in partial shade, but I'm afraid I passed the issue on to a friend who has a shade problem, so I no longer have the information available. You might also check with local nurseries. If you can find one or more that stock a lot of roses, they might be able to give you advice. Botanical gardens are another potential source of useful information. Good luck. Gail San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

They can survive better in a little shade because of their ability to put on relatively more foliage and stems. |

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! Kirra Brisbane, Australia |

Kirra Brisbane, Australia -- 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. Baracuda. |
