Roses
 

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

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but all my roses suffered
from spotted or black leaf problems for several years. Last fall I dug them
all up and transplanted them in full sun, with a lot of space between them
to improve the air flow. I also prune the centers out of them to allow for
more air circulation. This year they were the healthiest looking that they
have ever been, and as long as I keep cutting off the blooms when they
started looking bad, they continue to set on new blooms.

The news group rec.gardens.roses might be able to give you the information
you are looking for.
Have you ever tried them?

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.... Otherwise, I'm in total agreement
with you from the pov of personal taste.

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:-)
