Mine is planted in pure hot sun all day long and does just fine. I think it will do well in the spot you have.

At the mile high city, our air is thin and our sunshine intense - ever seen a plant with a sun burn? I have.

I've only had my little Rooguchi for one year, but it's in almost full sun and is growing and blooming very well. It is planted in very good soil and gets plenty of water.

Add me to the list of people with a Rooguchi in almost full sun with no problems. It's blooming right now and looks great.

I've only seen one mature plant and it was at Joy Creek in mostly shade and covered with mildew.

I would plant in sun if I attempted to grow it here.

I think morning sun would be okay. Mine gets no sun until about noon and then it plays in sun/shade on and off the rest of the afternoon until late afternoon when it's mostly shaded again. I've had mine about four years and it was at least a couple years old when I purchased it. Fast grower, first up every spring, blooms it's self crazy, leaves are a nice green. I just keep trimming off old blooms and it keeps right on blooming. I really like it.

Mine is in a hot south facing part fo my garden. It started off in mostly full sun, but the plum behind it (and now supporting it) has grown well and now shades some of the plant (though it has clung its way more than half-way up the plum and is blooming like a trooper)

One of these days I'll take and post a picture of it if I remember.

Thanks for all your advice on my clematis. I feel much more confidant now. Molly
