Collection: Shade friendly roses

Roses for shady spots

Although roses are usually associated with sun-drenched gardens, it is also possible to create a blooming oasis in the shadier parts of your garden. With the right varieties and care, you can enjoy beautiful roses even in places with less sunlight. At Belle Epoque, we have a special collection of shade-tolerant roses that are perfect for these challenging locations.

The right roses for shady spots

Not every rose needs full sun to bloom well. At Belle Epoque, we offer a selection of roses that thrive in partial shade. These varieties are adapted to lower light levels and will still produce their signature floral splendor and fragrance, even in the shade. Our collection offers a wide range of colors and varieties, so you can enjoy beautiful roses even in the shady corners of your garden.

Minimum number of hours of sunlight

For best results, we recommend planting shade-tolerant roses in locations where they will receive at least four to five hours of direct sunlight each day. Morning sun is ideal, as it is gentler and gives the roses a good start to the day without the intense heat of the midday sun.

Care tips for shade-tolerant roses

• Soil Preparation: Make sure the soil is rich and well-drained. Enrich the planting site with organic compost to increase nutrients and improve drainage.
• Watering: Roses that grow in the shade can be more susceptible to fungal diseases. Therefore, water at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the leaves. This will help keep the plant dry and reduce the chance of disease.
• Pruning: Regularly prune away dead or overlapping branches to promote air circulation and distribute available light evenly across the plant. This keeps the plant healthy and strong.
