I have Reve d'Or on a trellis on the west side of my house. Because of where it is, it doesn't get sun until noon. It does quite well and it is covering a fence, arbor and half a shed. It is also quite disease resistant.

I have Awakening and New Dawn in the exact same situation. They are eating the house.

The old hybrid musk Pax does very well for me in much less sun than that. It climbs, too - it climbed about 15 feet up our house. Lovely elegant semi-double white flowers - they are among the most beautiful roses in my garden.

In Zone 7, you can grow any rose in those conditions and it should thrive just fine in terms of sunlight being the only factor of consideration. Suggest you pick one hardy enough and with above average disease resistance.

Most hybrid musks do very well in partial shade. Also, I have Mme Alfred Carriere on a north facing wall of my garage and in four years she is over the roof.

Reve d'Or would be one of my top picks for that location as she loves the heat. Prickles are far between so this one is easy to work with.

In Texas I had it on a big arch with Buff Beauty coming up the other side and Perle d'Or at their feet. So pretty!

Thanks Queenbee for posting this. I have a garden on the side of my house that I think a climber would be perfect for, particularly the Reve d'Or. I know nothing about gardening though. Can someone suggest a good time for planting?
