Asking about this is probably a bit of a long shot,since according to HMF this rose is only available here in Europe, and I think most of the people on this forum are American,but still, worth a try. There's no ratings given on HMF, so I'm wondering about it's shade tolerance. Since the flowers are double-17-25 petals-I'm wondering if the rule of "fewer petals mean more shade tolerance" holds for this one. The spot I'm thinking of is not deep shade at all, but is one that gets afternoon rather than morning sun.
