Darlow's Enigma, Victorian Memory. My 2 Darlow's are very young (< 1 year) , but grew from 1 qt stem to about 2.5', bloomed. Victorian Memory is also less than 1 year old planted from a band, so it did not do much other than grow.
Any Rugosa should fit the bill as well. The previous owner planted about 16 pink Rugosas around, and they have survived drought, neglect, and cold. A little fish emulsion and iron and they just take off. Most of the bushes are shaded by trees for much of the day.

It would be easier to suggest roses for your question of you'd please give more of an idea where you are. "Shade" in Southern California is quite different from "shade" in Buffalo, New York and could very well make suggestions made for one, inappropriate for the other. The reduced heat and sunlight in shade can result in greater mildew possibilities as can water stressed conditions, so a higher resistance to mildew should probably be one of your criteria for selection.
