Suggestions for tall pink hybrid tea or grandiflora?

I had Mrs. John Laing in a particular spot--worked fine, except she got too much BS--and then up and died in the middle of a really hot spell.

So I need a replacement with similar traits:

  1. Tall and narrow (upright)--maybe about 4-5 ft tall and no more than 2.5 ft wide (or thereabouts)
  2. Medium pink or medium-to-light pink bloom. Touch of blue in the pink would be good (not the peachy-pinks, in other words).
  3. I prefer a really full bloom, but don't absolutely require it.
  4. Good BS resistance.


I thought the grandiflora Queen Elizabeth would be the perfect replacement, but on HMF, several posters suggested the bloom really isn't very pretty, and I must admit that a number of the photos look a bit more peachy-pink that I want.

So what can you suggest that would be like Queen Elizabeth with a prettier bloom and a bit more bluish pink?

Actually any type of rose would be fine, as long as it met the requirements above.

Thanks,

Kate
