Roses for shady places

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 places

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 less light and will still deliver their characteristic floral beauty and fragrance, even in the shade. Our collection offers a wide range of colors and varieties, so that you can enjoy beautiful roses even in the shaded corners of your garden.

Minimum number of hours of sunlight

For best results, we recommend planting shade-tolerant roses where they will receive at least four to five hours of direct sunlight per day. Morning sun is most ideal as it is gentler and gives the roses a good start to the day without the intense heat of the afternoon 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 growing in shade may be more susceptible to fungal diseases. Therefore, water at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the leaves. This helps to keep the plant dry and reduces the risk of diseases.
• Pruning: Regularly prune away dead or overlapping branches to promote air circulation and distribute available light evenly over the plant. This keeps the plant healthy and strong.
