shady place roses?

Okay, I know roses need sunlight....lots of sunlight, BUT is there any type of rose that will grow and bloom in a shady place? The area is on a NW corner and it does get about 4-5 hours of good direct sunlight. The sunlight is mainly in afternoon. Any information would be very helpful as I want to add some color to this area and I have a passion for any kind of roses.

I'm not a rose grower myself, but here's an article on roses for part shade:

There are several beautiful roses to grow in the shade. Sounds like you get some sun. Roses can't grow in total shade. One of my favorites is a very beautiful old-fashioned rose that blooms in a lovely shade of pink. The bush is thornless making it an even better choice.(you can pick plenty of blooms,and not get stuck with thorns!) The name is "Zephrine Drouhin".

I have a lot of places in my yard like what yiu describe, and the following roses do well: all of the Knock Outs, Baltimore Belle, Pearl Drift, Ballerina, Marjorie Fair, The Faun, Betty Prior, Ghislaine de Feligonde, and Wasagaming.
