Roses That Bloom In The Shade
Roses For ShadeRoses 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. However, in Southern California where I garden, I find that the Iceberg Roses are quite shade tolerant, and bloom very well with only 4 hours of morning sun. So I recommend them for dappled sunny areas, or only morning sun spots.
Penelope Rose for Shade
Penelope rose is a modern large, arching, shade tolerant shrub rose, with vigorous and disease free foilage. It repeat blooms all season and produces a lovely show of rose hips in winter. 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.
Erfurt Rose, a Shade Tolerant Rose
One of the shrub roses that bloom in the shade, Erfurt rose has a trailing, bushy habit and leathery, rich bronze-tinted disease-free foilage. It flowers continuously despite a large crop of medium-sized round hips that turn from green to orange-red and which are produced after the first flush of flowers. The blooms are a beautiful deep pink color with yellow stamens, a very pretty combination. The hips
are very attractive and make great indoor decorations. The hips last for several month on the bush and they
don't seem to get eaten by the birds. Zones 4-9.
Buff Beauty Rose for Partial Shade
A modern shrub rose, Buff Beauty is one of the roses that bloom in the shade, that is favored by rose enthusiasts. A very desirable garden plant even when it's not blooming, because of it's pleasing rounded growth habit and it's ample foilage of dark shiny leaves. In late spring-summer and again in fall, it grows large clusters of gorgeous pale apricot colored blooms that really show up against the dark foilage. There is a lovely rose fragrance. It grows to an average height or more, is great in flower borders or
planted against a low wall or fence and it's very disease free. Zones 4-9.
