I bought my mother 3 Renaissance bare root roses, Isabella, Helena and Clair. I was told they are fairly hearty (we live in Chicago) and can tolerate partial shade. What is the bare mimimum hours of sunlight you would recommend they recieve in a day?

The Renaissance Rose Series is a good one and they are very healthy and hardy but roses in semi shade need a minmum of 4 hours full sunshine , plus shade or a whole day of filtered sun.

Most roses need at least six hours of sunlight a day to do well. They will live and bloom with less but will not perfrom their best with less. I have both Clair and Helena and neither one is a good bloomer even when they get full sunlight all day long. Clair is prettier but Helena smells best.

I have this rose also and it isn't one of my favorites. The soft creamy pink color is beautiful, and it has a lovely fragrance, but it just doesn't bloom well for me and the flowers I do get are often far from perfect.
