This is very true are summers are very humid and hot, our winters are mild,
but it tends to rain quite a lot! But thanks anyway, there are a few rose
bushes
that "put up with" shade that I have, "Penelope" is in the shade, but not
doing great. Golden Showers is in semi shade and doing okay, but not thriving,
like the ones in the sun.
