Can hellebores grow in shade?

Hellebores are perennials, mainly native to woodland edges, so they enjoy dappled shade – although some will also grow in sun, others in deeper shade. Many have bold evergreen leaves, some marbled or silvery for added appeal. These hardy plants bloom in winter and early spring, when little else is in its prime.

Do all roses require full sun?
