I would recommend Gertrude Jekyll for colder zones. It is very hardy. I don't have too much trouble with blackspot in my no spray zone 5a garden although Lady Emma Hamilton sure gets some. Mary Rose is also good. Rugosa roses such as Pierette Pavement or Foxy Pavement are another alternative. Hardy Buck roses like Earth Song or Country Dancer are also hardy and disease resistant but, like rugosas, do not have old fashioned bloom form. Easy Elegance roses are also disease resistant.

I was going to suggest Marie van Houtte, too. In my experience, she blushes a bit more than Mrs. Dudley. However, Marie is well-armed with thorns and grows larger. White Maman Cochet blushes. I believe that William R. Smith can blush at the edges. Madame Joseph Schwartz, believed by many to be a white sport of Duchesse de Brabant, produces flowers which blush. Rosette Delizy is strong yellow with deep pink blushing at the outer petals. Mademoiselle Franziska Kruger is apricot but her petals can blush pink in the right conditions. Blumenschmidt, a butter yellow sport of Mademoiselle F. Kruger, can blush a little in the right conditions. These last two teas may produce vegetative centers. Madame Antoine Mari 's flowers come in varying shades of pink to cream for a nice effect. Madame Berkeley is pinkish apricot and can appear to blush. If you like hybrid teas, Peace is the classic choice for this coloration. Double Delight HT can produce very strong strawberry pink blushing in full sun. I hear that both stay creamy yellow without much sun. Happy hunting for your bashful teas! Carol
