Best climbing/rambling rose for part shade?

13 years ago

Hello all - looking for some advice. I finished an arbor this summer and would like to plant a rose to climb on it. It gets full morning sun, but is partly shaded in the afternoon by a crape myrtle. I'd prefer something that is very disease resistant with a long bloom time - any suggestions? Thanks for any advice!

I know Zephirine Drouhin has a reputation for doing well in shade. I have one. Not sure if it's a long bloom time - mine is still young, and they take about 3 years to get established, which may be longer than you want to wait.

They're also thornless and fragrant. :)
