	Roses That Challenge The North Of course, there is definitely a limit as to how far north roses can thrive, but there are a few species roses hardy to zone 1. Many cultivars (cultivated varieties) are hardy without protection in Zone 3 (-34 to 40 Celsius) and a further few are hardy to Zone 2

Re: Growing roses in shady areas?

Your morning location certainly is the prime one. However. a good general rule of thumb is that all roses require a minimum of six hours of sun. Hope this helps. Let us know how you go. Sherry

Re: Growing roses in shady areas?

The morning sun is the better location. The morning dew will evaporate off the leaves quickly and prevent fungus growths. I've had rose bushes growing in a shady location that have had a fair number of booms. If the 1pm location is the only place to plant then give it a try. It would be interesting experiment to plant the same climber in both locations...

Growing roses in shady areas?

Is morning sun lasting until about 1:00 P.M. enough sun for climbing rose bushes? And again afternoon sun that starts at about 4:00 P.M. enough for climbing rose bushes? I have planted two sets of climbers in these locations. The first location gets full sun until 1:00 P.M. and the second location gets full sun from 4:00 P.M. until dusk.
