Roses For Shade


Roses that bloom in the shade, sometimes can be hard to find, however, here are great examples of roses for shade and roses that tolerate shade.

Few roses are happy in half shady places, but there are a few that will thrive in such areas and with less than 4 hours of sun per day. Most are very fragrant and they all have an old-fashioned charm.

The roses below are the most shade tolerant roses available, and ready to be planted in your less than sunny garden area.



'Penelope'Rose

The large clusters of beautiful, delicate light pink blooms fading to white as they age, have a sweet old rose fragrance.

Penelope rose makes a great informal hedge and is also useful for growing over fences or walls.
