Suggestions for Partial Shade Roses
Comments (16)'Cornelia' and 'Moonlight' have flexible canes. So does 'Crepuscule', but I don't how she does in shade, nor how big she'll get for you...mine is quite large. Others with flexible canes are 'Buff Beauty' and 'Francesca': many of the Hybrid Musks have a kind of pocket rambler character. And of course they're fragrant and beautiful. Melissa P.S. Not to confuse your ideas, of course, but the word 'rambler' reminded me of that fine rose 'Alberic Barbier', with flexible canes and lovely flowers and foliage, excellent for a low fence, and very handsome in part shade. 'Alberic Barbier' has scattered blooms after the first big flowering, but in a long warm fall and when well fed and watered I've seen it have a profuse fall flush....See MoreEdible/wildlife-friendly shrubs for partial shade?
Comments (1)-High bush or half-high bush blueberries provide blooms, fruit, and autumn color if your part of MN has acid soil. -There are several other native Viburnums besides high bush cranberry that could be used such as V. acerifolium which likes shade or V. lentago or V. recognitum. All also have short-term spring blooms, fruit and fall color. -Aronia (chokeberry) also has blooms, berries and fall color. -Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica) has nicely scented foliage and waxy gray berries that provide early spring food for birds -Winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata) has smooth green deciduous leaves and holds its bright berries on bare stems through most of the fall around here. -Crabapples might not work in your hedgerow, though I have a couple of bird-planted ones growing in quite a bit of shade, but they provide food in early spring as they thaw for robins, grouse, and cedar waxwings IME. -Pagoda dogwood also might be a bit large but has the same combination of spring flowers (small and lacy not like typical flowering dogwoods), bird-friendly fruit, and nice fall color. Several of these plants have 1 sex per plant (holly, many Viburnums, and the bayberry) so you will need to have both sexes for fruit. These are all plants that grow well for me in half-day sun, give or take a bit, but you are a bit colder and so should check hardiness. I have several of the plants already on your list, including elderberries, Techny arborvitae, Juneberry (Amalanchier), and hazelnut, some growing wild and some planted in garden areas. All are doing well....See MorePlease Suggest vine w/ dense foliage for partial shade
Comments (4)Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) It does not keep it's leaves in the winter. (deciduous) It is aggressive. It will grow in sun or shade. Any perennial vine that you plant will take a few years to fill out. You may want to plant some annual vines for the first couple of years, until the perennial vine fills out....See MoreVine suggestion for partially shaded West wall
