How shade tolerant is sally holmes ?

I hate to start over on my arbor behind the pool but if I don’t get a good show I’ll admit defeat and try again. Note for anyone who does not know .. before I get told roses don’t grow in shade .. the wall was full of red landscape roses in perfect bloom when we moved in . I assumed the moving sunlight was strong enough and planted a ton of roses of my choices back there . They only give a spring bloom with that amount of sun so they have all just about been dug up and potted . I did plant Lyda back there as a test and because I so wanted roses!

if this isn’t the year I may try sally holmes. I’d mostly be thrilled with a spring show but repeat would be great too. shell get dappled sun and sun at the top of the arbor too.

thanks for your insight! Also any shade recommended roses I’d love to know . vapor already gave me one I’ll be using to replace the Leonardo da Vinci .

how will penolope do ?
