Do you have any suggestions for roses that will do well in less than
full sun?

My introduction to growing my own roses came
from a gift certificate for two roses from Heirloom
Old Garden Roses. You can imagine the difficulty
I had in choosing! Their catalog is full of wonderful
descriptions and beautiful color pictures. Of course,
I wanted them all <G>
After some thought and a dog-eared catalog later,
I chose the climber Zephirine Drouhin and the hybrid
rugosa Rugelda. The Zephirine Drouhin has survived
two (yes two!) moves and the Rugelda just amazes me
with its beautiful blooms.
Needless to say, the current catalog is also dog-
eared and I already have the spots picked out
for my next three roses. Picked the spots is
proving to be much easier than picking the
roses, needless to say! Thankfully I have all
winter to ponder over the catalog. Reading all
your notes is very helpful, let's keep this rose
thread going :)
