Brenda,
I'll share a picture of my bed of knock out road roses! They are planted near the road under 2
"Forest Pansy Red Buds" and one Eastern red Bud and one Columnar purple Beech. It looks a little different now as I planted a double row when I got the sales in the late fall!!
You are going to love them. They do take 3 years to come into their own. And from growing them for 4 years now I saw a HUGE difference in the size of the roses planted in partial shade. The ones in FULL sun do not reach full maturity as fast and do not look as good or free flowering. I would definately try them in a shady spot!! i want to do it just to see how well they do. I went back to look at the site for these and they do say they do well in partial shade. SO!!
I have lots of them and I really like them i know you will too!!
