Growing Roses in the Shade
Roses must have some sun to grow and bloom. Most roses need five to
six hours of sun per day. But if you have filtered sunlight for a good
portion of the day in part of your yard, then these shade tolerant roses
may be just what you are looking for. Do not expect to grow roses under
a tree. The success of a shade tolerant rose will vary from one location
to another, depending on very localized conditions, including reflected
light from nearby buildings, warmth, soil conditions, tree roots competing
for water and soil, and other variables. Contact
us for specific advice for your USDA
zone and location.
See Peter Schneider's book Peter
Schneider on Roses for a list of roses recommended to tolerate
four hours of filtered sunglight per day. roses
