I've heard that rugosa rose can be grown in full shade, but does anyone know if it will flower?
Thanks,

| RR is a very tough plant with a will to survive. I grew some in part shade (leaning towards full shade), and they grew very stunted and without flowers. After two years of this, I transplanted them to part sun. There the RR took off with tremendous growth and flowering. I never grew mine in full shade, but my experience would suggest that growth would be stunted at best. Understanding a plants shade tolerance and definitions of shade are critical to proper plant siting. |

performance is not great in shade. my plants are leggy and not heavy bloomers. but search for rugosas that will be happy in shade-- there are some. but this year i planned on moving mine into a sunnier spot.
perfume d'la hay does best in the shade for me-- but its going to a partially sunny spot--under a tree but with a southern exposure. my sisterinlaw had hansa and frau dagmar
up against the west side of her house under a tree-- but the still got full sun after 3PM during the summer and
mostly sun in april, may, september and october

| I was just given Therese Bugnet and read that it is shade tolerant. Doesn anybody have any idea how many hours of sun a rugosa needs to flower? I can't decide where to plant Therese. |

| I have a mystery rugosa growing in almost full shade. It flowers briefly in June, but not heavily. No repeat bloom. The canes grow to about 5 feet long each year and arch towards the sun. |
