Hey!  Great to know you came back, I am happy to see another name added
to the list of "live ones" because I was so disappointed when I got
nothing from the rose list and tons of stuff from "Seeds", "Perennials",
"Iris" and "Lily" lists.  

I am certainly no expert on the matter of how much shade roses will
tolerate and still bloom but I THINK light shade, dappled shade or
dappled sun would be what was meant there.  They should have enough
light to encourage growth and blooming but when we have hot sun on our
roses some of them just cook even if they were not wet when the sun
reached them.

Keep the questions coming and I hope everyone will make a good effort to
keep the answers flowing.  Tell the person asking the question what
worked for you.
