According to Steve Hutton, who introduced the Star Rose cultivar: There can even be some advantages to growing some roses in the shade. Pale petaled beauties that can look washed out in bright sunshine will seem to glow in partial shade. Here are 18 roses that tolerate the shade just fine.

You may, therefore, find that the same plant is called by several different names depending on where and when you buy it. Rosa ‘Peace’, for example, has been known as ‘Mme A. Meilland’, ‘Gioia’, or ‘Gloria Dei’. As a final complication, the commercial name may also throw in the hybrid class, such as “hybrid tea,” “grandiflora” or “floribunda.” Therefore, that simple Peace rose could carry a name like “Rosa subgenus Rosa, Hybrid Tea ‘Peace’.” Not to worry; a little careful reading will help you understand what rose you are buying.
