Re: roses & pine trees

     I have several roses planted under and near my pines.  The ones that 
     don't get much sun are stalky and slow-growing, but then, they're also 
     very young.  In general, they're doing fine.  My climbing Blue Girl 
     has about five huge blossoms, and it's about 5 feet tall, up 2 feet 
     from last year (I'm not much into pruning).  The climbing Pinata is 
     also tall, but very thin, and only has one flower so far.  I planted 
     them both at the same time, and the Blue Girl gets more sun.  I live 
     in USDA Zone 9, SF Bay Area.  Avril Tolley

Hi, I am thinking of moving an arbor to a new spot in a semi-circle of pine 
trees on my property. It looks very nice with  the white arbor against the 
green trees, but I am not sure if I will be able to plant my old fashioned 
climbing roses so close to the pines. Does anyone have any experience with 
this? The area gets sun for about 3/4 of the day. If not roses are there 
any other things that would grow in a spot like this?
I live in the thumb of Michigan. I'm not sure what zone.
