If your New Zealand garden offers more dappled light or partial shade than basking sunshine, finding the right climbing roses can be a challenge. Shade tolerant climbing roses are specifically suited for spots where sunlight is filtered or limited for several hours a day. These varieties are a wonderful solution for north-facing fences, shaded pergolas, or areas beneath higher tree canopies, injecting colour and fragrance into spaces others might dismiss. Whether you’re hoping for draping blossoms over an archway or want a striking floral screen, there’s a shade tolerant climbing rose for your needs.

Rhaphidophora decursiva (Dragon Tail Plant) is a striking tropical climber known for its large, deeply split leaves that become more dramatic as the plant matures. This fast growing plant adds a lush, jungle like feel to indoor spaces and sheltered NZ gardens.
