Victor is right ( as usual). Another good set up is in dappled shade where some shadowy sun comes through over head trees etc.
There is no better time than sunrise or sunset.
I post pics on a big Photo site for critique. Full shade gets comments like "The colors look flat". I can't argue because they are right.
Here is one of Kassia's roses I took yesterday. It was in a pot so I moved it a couple of feet to the edge of the tree shadow. See how the background is dark while the flower is 'alive'? It's not perfect but better than either full sun or shadow.
