I was thinking about planting my pink don juan rose on the east side of my house which has some shade in the afternoon. Does this rose tolerate some shade?

It likes full sun and will not bloom as well but it will be ok.

Like its namesake, this is truly a romantic rose as well as an exceptional one. The velvety red (almost black) hybrid tea like blooms are intensely fragrant and best of all, they adore the heat. It is a mannerly climber and seldom exceeds 12 feet and can be used on low fences, trellises, pillars, and arches. It also produces nice rose hips.
At my former residence, a small apartment, I had a beautiful Don Juan rose growing on a west facing trellis at my back door. It thrived there and for some reason, I've had problems growing another one at my current home. It is true that this is a tender rose and cannot tolerate extremely cold temperatures.
So place it carefully, preferably in a sheltered location, and mulch it heavily (about 1-3 feet) in the winter with leaves or pine needles. Another disadvantage is a tendency for blackspot, which it always gets.
Hope this helps!
