Is this rose shade-tolerant?

Hi Jay-Jay: Paul Neyron prefers some shade if your summer is hot and humid like mine. Paul Neyron is notorious for blackspots and diseases. I bought him as OWN-ROOT in March to do experiments: 1) in alkaline clay soil with alfalfa meal: lots of blooms 2) watered with acidic rain water, he broke out in blackspots 3) moved him to clay soil made acidic with peatmoss, he had the worse blackspots 4) moved him to Ball's potting soil with 55% composted fine pine bark with lime, Paul Neyron is 100% clean after 2 weeks of rain, 70% humidity and hot weather. The tannin in the composted pine acts as fungicide, plus lime is a natural fungicide. He's healthy at last.

Fascinating. No wonder why he spots badly here...

Mine died after a few years. The plant was small and grafted, when I got it and in a very cold winter it froze back. It started all over, but didn't thrive at all at that shady spot... except for Black-spot!

My Paul Neyron died as own-root after a few winters. Roots are so wimpy that it can't go deep enough for my zone 5a winter survival. La Reine smells better and is more healthy & winter-hardy.

"Sydney Linton" and 'Rose du Roi' may have something in common. They both have six (or more) sepals [refer 'Rose du Roi' 1829 and 1836 references] and are basically the same colour. However, there seems to be a difference in the receptacle in that 'Rose du Roi' narrows at the top, and "Sydney Linton" widens at the top.
