Most roses need at least 8 hours of sunlight per day.

I have roses in my side yard (between houses) that doesn’t get 8 hours of light, they are not spectacular, but they do OK. (Now if I can just figure out whats eating the leaves……:)

The roses won’t die, but they won’t flower as much as if they were in full sun all day. The risk of black-spot and mildew may increase also.

The plants need more light. The flowers grow on the canes exposed to sun.

I have a beautiful rose bush in an area that gets four hours of sun. The condition of the soil will be an important factor in how well your rose does with less sun. Give it optimal conditions and it will be okay.

If you only have 4 hours of sun, I would avoid the modern hybrid tea roses. Instead, go for hybrid musk roses which bloom well with less sun. Check out the link below for some varieties. You might have to mail order them as they are hard to locate in local nurseries.

Well, there are shade tolerant roses out there. As for staying little, plants in shade tend to reach out for the sun so they won’t be stunted.
Here are some that I know of:
Clair Matin
Cornelia
Excellenz von Schubert
Golden Showers
Gruss an Aachen
Mary Rose
Pink Knock Out
Rainbow’s End
Rosa chinensis ‘Mutabilis’
Sally Holmes
The Fairy
Zéphirine Drouhin
Here are some links to more:

Hope this helps you. Just a little note, I have a friend who is a landscaper. Just happens that she lives in the oak forest but LOVES roses. She loves them so much that she plants them all over her yard and they are suprisingly doing well. She just takes any that she likes and sees what happens. Generally they grow taller than normal because they are “stretching” but they do flower and are not diseased. It’s really a nice surprise. Now, these are not ideal conditions but just shows how resilient plants are.
Good luck!
