Blanc Double de Coubert does, indeed, do well in partial shade. Have
had her, along with R. rugosa, 'Belle Poitevine' and the autumn
damask, R. damascena bifera, growing and blooming for me in, at most,
3 hours direct sun - rest high shade, for close on 20 years. I do
not get repeat bloom, however, on the autumn damask, as it is
supposed to do. Have always put this down to the fact that it is not
in full sun. However, May bloom on all three has been fine all these
years, if the deer don't eat all the buds. FWIW, my local herd seems
to prefer the damask to the rugosa roses.
