Fine rose plants in shady parts of the garden are occasionally seen producing excellent blooms, but these are exceptions to a rule that roses need several hours of sunlight daily. Some do best with less shade than others (see Chapter XI).

Roses and most other plants strongly resent draughty posi­tions, such as driveways. Exposure to wind from all directions in open beds will seldom cause much harm. Draughts and shade are usually partners in animosity to plants.
