Roses for partial shade?
Comments (6)Morden Blush does great in partial shade. Betty Prior, Gruss An Aachen, & a number of Austins (Mary Rose, Fair Bianca, Abraham Darby) will also take shade....See MoreAlbas or David Austin roses for shade
Comments (27)Hi Nanadoll, Chicago is on the same parallel as New York and both are on the same parallel as Barcelona Spain. The difference in the zone is the winter low temperature-not the day length or light intensity.Roses like places where its cool all summer-like England. I used to think that roses liked hot spots, and some do, but now I've read that cool is best. In some towns nearby, the roses look great in the summer because the asphalt heat reduces humidity. That is why they have no fungus. The opposite also works- lots of cool morning sun(which dries off the dew) and protection from heat. I have many of my roses in pots that I store in the basement through winter. I can lug them around here and there to capture more sun or cool them off in the hot part of summer or just find their happy spot before planting. I had some roses in a hot spot and they weren't happy-I moved them to a cooler place and they began to grow. I also tried baking soda this summer for black spot and it seemed to work just as well as the disgusting chemicals(which I never spray enough because I hate them getting on my clothes. Some other varieties that worked well for me in part shade were Sheer Bliss,Autumn Sunset,Kordes Perfecta and Sally Holmes. Mirandy is on the shade list but doesn't look too good now-Ill see next year. Sheer bliss grew like a weed, had no black spot most of the summer until the real hot weather and flushed several times.Sally Holmes has great glossy fungus free foliage-but little scent.It is now shooting up at the base of a tree. Ive noticed under trees where it stays dryer, some plants wont fungus as bad too-as long as they get enough angled light....See MoreLooking for climbing roses for partial shade
Comments (12)My best for shade is 'mermaid'. I know 'new dawn' does ok in shade, too. They both rebloom sporadically- but are hardly in bloom all the time. My first thought was i don't know of anything that's gonna bloom all season, work in aft shade, and be disease free, which is why i didn't post. Most of my roses are the old type that blooms once and that's it, but i do have a few that bloom again. My shade tends to be morning shade- so mine get hot afternoon sun. Morning sun is supposed to be better for roses, so maybe that is less of a factor than i first thought. 'Red cascade' might do ok, but i have mine in sun, so i'm not sure. It's probably the best rebloomer i have- it almost always has some bloom on it, and at times is solid with color. I'll be bringing some starts to the swap. All the roses i got that i didn't get from Betty i ordered from roses unlimited....See MoreWhat do you think about these David Austins?
Comments (19)My Abe Darby is in full sun. It has way more blooms since I moved it into full sun than when it was in the shade. I have been gradually moving all my Austins into full sun. They seem to bloom more. Munstead Wood is a dark red which some say burns in full sun but its been doing great in full sun all summer. The heat makes the blooms more pink and the cooler nights bring out the darker purplish tones but they blooms do not fry either way. I have lived and gardened in 11 states. In general, the more humidity you have the more sun your plants can take. In say, hot, dry desert conditions when I lived in Phoenix, AZ plants could take way less full sun than in LA, or FL....See Morestrawchicago z5
