My wife has requested (orderd!0 I purchase a vigorouse climbing rose,
to cover a newly erected trelis. in front of nest doors shed, the spot
is quite shady, and instructions are that the flowers be small and red.

I tried Dublin Bay, but that says full sun on the lable, so went in
another part of the garden


any Ideas?

Thanks

Try the David Austin site which says this:
"Roses For Shaded positions
No rose will grow in deep shade but a number of varieties will do quite well
in partial shade, provided they are not planted too close to the roots of
trees. Albas are the best, but the Gallicas, Damasks, Centifolias and
Rugosas should do quite well. In the shade, Species and some other shrubby
roses will be drawn to the light and so may become attractive climbers.

Climbers for shady walls North facing or less than 4 hours sun per day:
Albéric Barbier, Ena Harkness Clg, Danse de Feu, Félicité- Perpétue, Golden
Showers, May Queen, Mme Grégoire Staechelin, Mme Legras de St. Germain, Mme
Plantier, Mme Alfred Carriere, Maigold, New Dawn, Mermaid, Veilchenblau."
