Roses thrive on direct sunlight. For best results, a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight is recommended. However, even when planted against a north wall (meaning no direct sunlight) roses can still perform well.
Can rose grow in shade?
Most roses thrive in a sunny position. However, some grow surprisingly well in shady areas, as long as the shade isn't caused by trees, which take a lot of moisture from the soil. Very few roses can take full shade – bear in mind that the minimum you'll need to provide is around four hours of sun per day.
Where is the best place to plant a rose tree?
Where to plant a rose tree
- Choose a well-exposed spot that is full of sun.
- Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil where moisture collects, because rose tree roots don't like that and it makes the plant prone to disease.
- Better choose rich, light, and well-drained soil.
