sharing experiences with rugosas

Hello, what is your experience with the rugosa roses (natural and hybrids)?

I mean, regarding diseases.

I experiences buffling differences with them!

I put on the very bad side Grootendorst (the worst one, both in pink and in red), Parfum de l'hay and Mary Manners. Oh, yes, and conrad ferdinand meyer, but that's no surprise as it looks much more like a Tea than a rugosa.

I experienced some diseases on Sarah van Fleet, Roadrunner*, Robusta and some pavement-rugosas*.

No dieases instead on Therese bugnet (but it's eaten up by some parasite), Frau Dagmar Haartrup*, Hansa, Roseraie de l'Hay and Scabrosa*. And Agnes, but Agnes is not reblooming, so I was nonetheless disappointed.

What has your experience been? Which one do you consider the most healthy?

PS: I have marked with an asterisk the varieties which produced hips. Contrary to my expectations, Hansa made no hips.
