Camellias

17 years ago

I'm thinking of (next spring) digging out my roses (New Dawn) and replacing them with camellias. I am in Virginia, zone 7. The problem is my neighbor's tree has grown so large the roses no longer get full sun. I've heard camellias can do well in shade. Any opinions on this?
