Can I have suggestions for the most disease resistant bush/ht type rose
please? Thanks

Rosa rugosa (and its hybrids). I like Rosarie de l'Haie
(spelling?)... large double richly scented deep raspberry coloured
flowers, healthy foliage, virtually disease and pest free, golden autumn
leaves. Blanc double de coubert is similar but white.

The OP asked for bush/HT types roses..

I know; but since "type" is a somewhat vague catch-all term I
supposed he was really saying, " a self-supporting kind of rose for a
bed, not a climber or rambler".
Rugosas are very amenable to pruning and "bushy" enough to count imho:-)
