Comments (7)Hi Sophia I'm in Sydney too, but I'm afraid I can't come up with anything with your criteria. I will say that I've had no luck at all with David Austins - they all defoliated for me - tried around half a dozen, including Redoute, which is supposed to be a more disease resistant one. I am on the coast though, so perhaps more humid than where you are. I have grown Pink Gruss an Aachen (sold here usually as Irene Watts). I love the blooms, but recently pulled it out as it was so disease ridden. It didn't get a lot of sun though, so that wouldn't have helped it. The only rose that I can think of is Jean Ducher (correctly known as G Nabonnand, but sold her as JD usually). It's almost thornless, but grows to 1.5 to 2 metres. It does well for me, and flowers most of the year. Trish...See MoreThornless rose bush?
Comments (18)Since the widely successful introduction of Knockout Roses, the rose industry has decided that customers want disease resistant roses, and have focused their attention to meeting that demand.
