I’ve planted this rose in 2010 in my (full sun) allotment, but I’ve also have this rose in my (semi) shaded garden at home. She does well in both places, but it seems to me that she likes the somewhat shaded place over the spot in the full sun. Therefore this is a good and beautiful rose for people who have a partially shaded garden, but who would like to grow roses.
