When You look for this rose, HMF says: "Aloha (hydrid tea, Boerner 1949)"
This should offcourse be Hybrid Tea. (a typo)

I'm confused; the description on this site for Boerner's Aloha rose says it's disease resistant, but then it also says it's susceptible to mildew and rust. It looks like everyone who has made a comment relating to its disease resistance says that it is disease resistant for them. A couple of people who commented on Everyrose.com also said it's disease resistant. Unless I missed it, I didn't see any comment saying otherwise.

I realize that the disease resistance of a given rose can vary with climate and other factors -- but is this rose generally disease resistant, or is it prone to mildew and rust? If climate makes a big difference for this rose, please answer with regard to zone 9, if possible.

I have not planted Aloha because I was told by rose growers at the San Francisco Rose Society Aloha is susceptible to rust in a damp, foggy summer. I suspect mildew would be a problem only if you over-fertilized. I suspect that where you live rust would not be a problem (unless you find it a problem with other roses you have) and neither would mildew. There's only one way to find out -- plant one. In any case, Aloha really has gorgeous flowers and a wonderful fragrance. You can see where Abraham Darby gets its best qualities!

I have one Aloha growing. It is very healthy and very disease resistant here in Southern CT. The leaves are spotless and have been for three years. I received it from a friend who has had probably 10 huge bushes for 30yrs, which are absolutely magnificent!! Re: the shade, this rose will tolerate shade. Mine is is nearly all day full sun and it could probably use a little more shade, as the flower petals seem to burn a little. But this year has been exceedingly hot. My friends are in probably 1/2 day shade and they probably have 200 flowers on each bush.

I live about 10 miles north of Boston. If your friend grows Aloha as a shrub, how tall are those "huge" Alohas?

Sorry, just getting to this post. My apologies. Her Aloha's, which she grows as shrubs were at least 7-8' tall, very well branched, exceedingly bushy with innumerable roses on each. But she's been growing them for some 30yrs in their present location, all fertilized organically with compost. Rarely has a spot on the leaves. I took a cutting three years ago. Mine is now 5' high, well branched and currently has many dozens of buds on it as of June 7, 2011. Mine is in truly full sun and it's too sunny for this rose. It benefits from afternoon shade. I might try to take a cutting and grow it in 1/2 day sun.

Does Aloha tolerate shade? What other climbing roses tolerate shade?

The Hybrid Musk class of roses is famous for containing varieties that tolerate shade unusually well.
