Combined Rose List is correct in saying that Starry Night is a synonym for Anita Pereire.

In the RHS listings 'Starry Night' is 'Orawichkay' and 'Anita Pereire' is 'Orawidu'. There are sites which state they are synonymous, but others who keep them separate. A rose cannot (should not) be called both Orawichkay and Orawidu.
Oradiwu, on the other hand, seems to point to a parentage Di(ckson) and w(ich)u(rana), like 'Starry Night'. Assuming Orard did not cheat and recycle an existing rose for whatever reason (e.g. to receive a US Patent 6 years after first introduction??), these two roses could also be siblings.

Does anyone know if this rose does well in a shady north facing side of the house? (with no trees). Thanks.

The Montreal Botanical Garden recommends this rose as resistant to blackspot, powdery mildew, and rust:
