Hardy (beautiful) roses for full sun position - varieties?

[SoTiredNeedHoliday]

Hello, I'm looking for some lovely roses to plant in a full sun position. What varieties are suitable?
Total novice so really appreciate your help.

All roses love full sun. I recommend looking on the David Austin website and choose a repeat flowerer (some old roses only flower for a brief time each year).

My personal favourites are Lady of Shallott, Lady Emma Hamilton, Boscobel, Hot Chocolate and Blue for You. These all flower their socks off all summer if you keep dead heading them.

Oh and Queen of Sweden!

I am looking at David Austin Generous Gardener as it is robust, highly fragrant, repeat flowering and looks lovely. But I am going to dig up a rose which is none of those things to find space for it. My husband thinks this is practically rose murder.

@VenusClapTrap & @AmberRoseGold what a great website. Such amazing advice thank you both!!

If you’ve got space for a climber, Tess of the d’Urbervilles is amazing. Smells fab and flowers all summer (if dead headed).

Its in an open space so I can't do a climber unfortunately

You could build something for them to go up, couldn't you? Tess looks beautiful stillcrikey - is that in your garden? You lucky thing!

Aw, thanks. Yes I took the pic just before posting.
This rose is my pride and joy. It was one of the first plants I bought when we started to ‘do’ the garden. This is only her third summer. I have high hopes for future years.
I have an arbour seat next to her and the scent when I’m sitting there with a glass of wine is absolutely gorgeous.

I’m a huge David Austin fan. We’ve just moved and I e got a section of the garden with just his roses. I’ve got 3 Grace, A Shropshire Lad (it only flowers once), 3 white roses and 3 Ive never previously grown- a Summer Song which is furry and doing brilliantly on its first year.
Once we’ve done our extension there’ll be more!

theres so much choise. On their website, if the rose says partial shade will it also do well in full sun?

Knowledgable Rose people can you also advise if it's okay to move a rose at this time of year - it's been pruned back for cuttings but my landlord says I can take the actual bush too as they are landscaping the garden when I'm gone. I'm scared I might kill it by moving it? (its old)

sorry to jump on your thread OP

I've just taken delivery of Gabriel Oak, a David Austen rose. I'm supposed to put it in a pot, but I've got it by the back door. The smell has filled my whole house. It's just gorgeous!

I also love Desdemona, and Gertrude Jekyll

I suppose you could transplant it into a pot straightaway, very carefully, and water it a lot

I think I'm going for the susan williams-ellis here

Stunning. Excellent choice.

@52andblue you’ve nothing to lose by having a go at digging it up and replanting it, if it’s going to be destroyed by landscaping anyway. If it’s a really old one they can be very hard to dig out though - the roots will probably go very deep. If you can get it out without too much damage, get it back in the ground in its new spot as quickly as possible, prune it down to a foot high max, and water water water. Also buy some Rootgrow to sprinkle in the planting hole before you put plant it. Mulch with composted manure after planting. It might die, but it might thrive!

@VenusClapTrap if buying a new rose from David Austin should I also be putting root grow at the bottom of the hole before planting?

Munstead Wood is glorious... repeat flowers and amazing scent

I’ve got Poet’s wife (David Austin) in a pot in full sun, but I think that is suitable for shade too and it’s fine. Glorious scent to it and lovely yellow flowers.

Root grow is always a good idea. Dammit, I knew I shouldn't click on a roses thread, that one is gorgeous! My favourite is Comte de champagne.

It’s always good to use Root Grow. Essential if there have been roses in the border in the past to prevent rose replant disease.

Amber I am new to gardening and someone recommended The Generous Gardener to me for climbing up a pergola. I ordered it from David Austin and when it came, it was just a stick! I don’t know what I expected but I was so disappointed at what I got for over £20! However, I planted it earlier this year and it seems to be doing okay! No flowers yet, though. I’m too impatient for this gardening lark.
Sorry for the hijack, OP.

@ThreeKneeRepeater don’t worry. A rose ‘stick’ is a good thing. Keep it watered and happy and it will be a thing of beauty in not so very long.

This is my munstead wood. She was bare root two years ago. I love her.
