"north facing"

Hours of sunlight per day during growing season?

Good sun for north exposure

On my north exposure you don't plant roses because there isn't nearly enough sun. So I am translating your 'good sun for north exposure' to mean you don't have enough sun for roses either.

How tall is this wall?

Thank you sehee, those are very nice suggestions and good to know can take a little shade..

I had Don Juan do really well in a 10 inch container in a north facing balcony with 4-6 hours afternoon sun and even indoors. Some black spot, but much better than my other roses and considering the amount of rain we get here (jersey city) and the little sun exposure.

I would suggest Mme Alfred Carriere, Ghislaine de Feligonde or her pink sport. All have the additional advantage of being lower thorn. I would agree with Mad that depending on total light you may be fighting a hard battle. That is why I ask about the wall's height and how much shade/sun it receives during the summer months. I'd try it out, but not expect a miracle. Those mentioned have done well and remained healthy in quite shady spots, but do receive some sun, especially in the spring before the trees leaf out. You will need more than one season to see how well they grow and bloom, however, so give them time unless it's obvious they're growing backwards.

Hi neighbor here. Congrats with the house. Agree with others’ comments about light requirement. If you live in a brownstone there is shade from your house, neighbors’s house, trees, fences...I have Eden and it doesn’t repeat for me. Perhaps try Pretty in Pink Eden. It is supposed to repeat better.

Of my Austins Generous Gardener repeats the best. But overall my Austins don’t work too well with our wet spring and scorching summer.

Even though we are in Zone 7 an instructor from BBG said we should stick with plants zoned for 6 or 5 to be safe since we get these freezing cold snaps in late winter.

Good luck and hope you will share pictures of your roses.

I would choose an Austin climber for a north wall if it gets around 3 to 4 hours of sunlight. I also really like Vapor’s suggestions. I can think of another rose that isn’t as well known but seems to do great with only a few hours of light. (The Aptos rose or dr. Robert korns) I got mine from Rogue valley roses and they claim their blooms under trees with minimum sunlight. It blooms in sprays and it may not be your style since you were looking into roses like Eden. It is healthy no spray and could probably climb 10 feet or more. It also smells great. Sorry there was a big rain and messed up the heavy canes, but here is what it looks like.

Wow! I had heard you mention that, but never seen it. Love it!.

Vapor full disclosure I have mine where it gets at least 6 hours of direct sun. Rogue valley says theirs gets almost no desire right sun and still blooms. I don’t know why but I just love it’s informal happy blush blooms and the bees just go crazy with it.

That is just beautiful, Daniella. Exquisite

Dianela, what a wonderful suggestion and unknown to me. I do wonder if it will bloom in shade? I think I am going to try this rose, I have just the place for it. Thank you!

I think most of the non multiflora hybrid masks do well in the shade from what I've read. I would like to hear actual experience from others though.

Thank you farmerduck.

Katyajini i am glad you like it. Please let us know if it actually blooms in the shade for you in the future.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions, everyone! I don't have the exact sun/shade ratio mapped out yet because we haven't moved yet. It seems fairly sunny in the afternoons because the inside gets a lot of light, and no building across the way, just a school yard.
