Can anyone suggest rose bushes that would work in part shade?

I live in zone 6. The plot in the back has great sunshine all morning (about 5 hours) and then has some shade produced by very tall pine tree trunks that have very few needles and branches. I would love to have a rose garden with a few climbers for the fence. Any suggestions?

Here is a whole page of David Austin roses both bush and climber that are perfect for your area.

Happy Rose Hunting.





I'm expecting four of the climbers in March and I'm very excited.

Reply:I have four rose bushes in a similar space, and they do fine. They don't get bushier every year, and they tend to be a bit leggy, but they bloom 3-4 times during the summer, and I've had them about 6 years now.
Reply:The only thing I can think of is knockout rose bushes. We have some between the house and few tall oak trees. They do fine.
