Growing Roses

Q: Hi. I am new to rose gardening. I would like to start with a climbing rose but it can't be white, it should be very disease resistant and hardy, and it would have to be one that only gets about 5 hours of sun. Any suggestions?

A: The key question has to do with when the area gets sun. 5 hours of sun from dawn to noon is not enough for a rose, however, 5 hours of afternoon sun would be fine for any of the roses we carry.

Assuming afternoon sun, one of our favorites rosed that fulfills your requirements is Altissimo.
