Zephirine Drouhin actually is one of the shade-tolerant roses. Perhaps not full shade, but I have two that get only a couple of hours of sun and they bloom abundantly. In contrast, the one I have in full sun is less robust and tends to suffer from powdery mildew and stunted blooms when the temperature rises above 80 degrees F.

I personally would hesitate to grow one in a container because it wants to grow to more than 10 feet tall. Keeping it in a container only a meter deep would entail judicious pruning of the canes and roots, similar to a bonsai plant.
