Again, I'm zone 6 in the Midwest, but if it helps any, here are the most bs resistant Austins that I grow:
Munstead Wood----still new, so final word is not in yet, but looks very promising so far.
Lady of Shalott----taller apricot/gold/buff blooms; just finished its second year here. Good BS resistance.
Mortimer Sackler----taller, lighter shades of pink. 5 years old. Excellent disease resistance.
Queen of Sweden----supposed to be 3-4 ft tall, but closer to 5-6 ft tall in my garden; exquisitely wonderful light pink/apricot highlight at times. 4-5 years in my garden. Very good disease resistance.
Pretty Jessica----smaller shrub, big fat full pink blooms. 3-4 years old. Excellent disease resistance.
Mayflower----4-5 ft tall, pink. Had it for 5-6 years. Excellent disease resistance.
The Wedgwood Rose--climber----this has been its first season in my garden, and it looks very promising. Austin claims it is "excellent" on disease resistance. Pastel pink/white.
Scepter'd Isle----first season in my yard, hasn't done much of anything one way or another. Supposed to be fairly good on disease-resistance but come back and ask me in a year or two. : ) Beautiful bloom, light pink.
All of the Austins are supposed to be hardy to zone 5.
By the way, you mentioned Easter Basket as being at top of the garden list. I grow this little floribunda--she's wonderful and very bs resistant. You might consider her also. Wonderful fluffy, ruffly blooms in several pastel shades. (Not an Austin)
Another non-Austin that resists everything is the floribunda Home Run--bright red single. Seil will back me on that one!
Another non-Austin: get Mystic Beauty (from Roses Unlimited)--nearly identical to Souvenir de la Malmaison which everybody on the Antique Forum raves about. It is that good. Pastel pink/white bourbon.
I also have some polyanthas, but they are only a couple years old and haven't done much (probably because I moved them twice), so it will take another year before I can judge them. But they are generally thought of as bs-resistant --and very bloomiferous.
Those are some of my best ones in Zone 6 Kansas. Can't guarantee how they will do in your zone.
Hope that helps.
Kate
