Gallicas, hybrid Gallica in this case, can grow in shade but you will get better bloom in a sunny location. IDK about this one, but my Charles de Mills blooms after the partly overhanging sycamore tree has begun to leaf out.

'Albertine' will experience extensive cane loss from winter kill in some Z5b winters. My winters generally have high precipitation, and average humidity is 50% here in the heart of the Great Lakes. Wild temperature swings are common.
Some winters though, it comes through fine and puts on a great show.
'Albertine' likely reaches the (useful and honest) northernmost limits of its cold tolerance here in Southern Michigan, Z5b.
This is an area where even the likes of 'New Dawn' will struggle. 'Westerland' dies to the crown every winter. 'Dr. Huey' seems odd/highly particular/located in ideal microclimes as he ranges from pathetic and useless as an understock or in the garden to rather massive things with good hardiness. You always know the Good Doctor when you see him in the deep red finery of his spring suit.
