Okay, I went to one of my favorite rose sites (the roseraie at bayfields,
no affiliation) and clipped text of roses mentioned as shade tolerant. I
only went to some of the sections (species, shrubs, climbers, polyanthas,
griffin buck hardy) and there were no shade roses listed for poly's or
bucks. Here's the species rose list. The nursery is located in Maine,
so assume they're all zone 5 at least and they usually say zone 4. Keep
in mind this list is species, not hybrid teas and as such may look
different. Also note whether they're recurrent if you want everbloomers.
The others are to follow...
