I've found that June Laver, Magic Carousel, Gourmet Popcorn, Spring Song and Cinderella are all very B.S. resistant. Last year we had weird weather and I thought that I was having B.S. but it turned out to be Anthracnose. Haven't ever had it like that before and hope I don't again. I do spray but I can miss these if I'm running low on spray material for weeks at a time and no problems. From what I've heard that list is pretty consistant across the nation. Here Rainbow's End is also reliably disease resistant with only minimal spraying, but I think someone said that in their no spray yard it got B.S. a little.

Here is my list of favorites from my garden of about 250. I have several new ones that may join the list soon, but I decided to just list the tried and true. Most are very healthy, bloom a lot and are fragrant. ROUGE ROYALE- This Romantica blooms frequently with huge, fragrant, dark red blooms on strong stems. It is a consistent winner of the Decorative Rose class at shows. SCENTED MEMORY - This rose is very similar to the above, but is an apricot blend. It has huge scented blooms with an old-fashioned multi-petaled form. FIREFIGHTER - To me, this rose should get the Gamble Award for Fragrance. And, in addition to it's wonderful damask fragrance, it has beautiful, velvety dark red blooms. I have two, which in my garden means I love it! SPELLBOUND - This coral rose has exquisite form. It doesn't have much scent, but it is really beautiful. I have two of this one, too! TAHITIAN SUNSET - This is an amazing rose. It is huge in my garden (on fortuniana rootstock) and has huge yellow blend, scented blooms. ELLE - Elle is another constant bloomer with lovely pink blend blooms with a delicious scent. She is a feminine as her name. QUIETNESS - Another very feminine rose of a lovely pale pink and great scent. It is very healthy. NIMBUS - This mauve blend floribunda is has the loveliest color blooms - hard to describe. It has great scent, too. PRETTY LADY - The name says it all! This white and pink floribunda is constantly blooming and seems to be immune to blackspot. PASSIONATE KISSES - Another lovely floribunda in constant bloom with big candy pink blooms. BLACK CHERRY - This is my favorite floribunda. It truly never seems to stop putting out tons of dark red blooms and is extremly healthy. I have Preference, too, and it is very hard to tell the difference. Black Cherry is a little darker red. OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE - Another matchless floribunda that blooms all the time with beautiful pink blooms with nice form. It is very healthy also. Whew! That was hard! I love a lot of others that people mentioned but decided to list the ones I really would grow if I could only have twelve. That actually could happen when I grow to old to take care of all the ones I have (That could happen any time!)

Thank you both for your help! I'll deffinately have to consider ordering from Johnny Becnel, but I'm hoping to find it somewhere that costs a bit less. It's great to know that it's sold somewhere though, I was near giving up on finding it. Maryl, unfortunatly Bridges doesn't sell June Laver anymore. I would like to find june laver as an own-root rose, but at this point I'd be perfectly satasfied with a grafted one at a good price..

I got Sweet Diana from Bridges in June. It has bloomed continuously all summer, but never so profusely as right now, in mid-October with the temperatures in the 40s at night and 60s to 70s in the daytime. The dark green foliage seems impervious to disease, even though several nearby roses have been hit with blackspot. I'm really impressed. Here is a link that might be useful: Sweet Diana at Bridges
