Plants/shrubs which like full shade?

andygb

Having organised the garden with raised beds, and a patio which we will be able to use, I have a problem.
Although the garden is South facing, one border from the house is East facing and does not get much sun, in fact the top corner is in shade for all the day. I have three small rhododendrons in the border, and although they look really healthy, would I be best to move the one in the top corner, to the opposite West facing corner?
I would also like to know which plants/shrubs like partial/full shade. The rose bushes seem to do OK, so bearing this in mind, would that seem to be an ideal solution?
I should also point out, that the end of the garden (at the South side) has a four feet high solid wall, and most of our rose bushes are planted there, and seem quite happy.

I don't know enough to give advice, but the RHS plant selector might be helpful for you:

not sure about FULL shade for these but I think they are shady plants generally

Cotoneaster
aucuba
fatsia japonica
Buxus sempervirens (Common Box)
Eleagnus x ebbingei (Oleaster)
Camellia
Garrya elliptica (Silk-tassel bush)
Hypericum calycinum
Mahonia

Thanks for that, I may well go for a Camellia because my OH loves them.
