Well I am not sure of your zone or conditions, but I recommend Distant Drums, Lady of the Mist, Quietness. Tropical Fragrance, Ingrid and Glowing Amber.
And new for me Golden Buddha is also turning out Disease resitant and fragrant.
Another new one that fits what you are looking for is Jeri Jennings.
Check the HMF search fr this and the Buy from tab should tell where these can be obtained from.
Good Luck

I'm very impressed with Fabulous, It's a floribunda, I think...Put out by Jackson and Perkins. The only thing is, it is getting taller and taller and I've trimmed it very short this year. I was so impressed with it, that I now have two. The blooms are white and pale yellow. From a distance you are mostly seeing white. I also love all my David Austin Roses. But I'm still wishing for a 'Morning Has Broken' rosebush put out by Heirloom roses. My problem with getting one from them, is that they come in a very small 6 inch plant and we are going on a trip in June...also we have an over population of deer out here in Granbury,Texas...I have to rely on my "Scarecrow" water system to keep them away. This has been the only thing that has worked for us so far, and I have 70 rosebushes so far......Phyllis

I live in Lynnwood, WA. I have an own root tuscan sun (floribunda) in a container for about a year. It is very disease resistant, no black spot or mildew. It survived this past winter storm. It shows healthy growth.

Hi! I live in Central Florida, which is quite a diff climate than Seattle. I am using almost all Fortunianata rootstock from Nelson's and J & P, which does well in FL. All of the roses mentioned below can be purchased locally in your area, I imagine. Have planted over 28 roses this spring, and already had two HT own root roses that came with the house--Fragrant Cloud and Sterling Silver--hubby ran over this one w/his lawnmower, and it came back! Both have gorgeious smelly blooms, but are prone to blackspot. Take my advice with a grain of salt, b/c these are new plantings, but so far, I love these roses--vy little probs, and few issues w/black spot after I told my husband not to water right before dark. I have most of these roses on soaker hoses, as well. I agree, Tuscan Sun is a beaut. I've had it planted for almost two mos, and it thrives--multicolored blooms of yellow/orange/pink that change color as the blooms age, very bushy, loads of new growth, blooms from the botton, and nice, mild spicy scent. Also, have had really good luck with Shocking Blue--it's a deep lilac purple Floribunda, Celebrity, a huge flowered yellow HT with edges of petals trimmed in pink on young blooms, and Madame Isaac Pere, a deep pink Bourbon and bushy profuse bloomer. (All three of these smell WONDERFUL.) Also, I love Burgundy Iceberg, a vigorous deep purple Floribunda with a light rasberry scent. Love & Peace, a pink and yellow HT is gorgeious, very disease resitant, but only has a vy mild scent. If you like climbers, I brought Golden Showers back from an ugly looking plant I bought at 1/2 price--milder licorice smell, but beautiful yellow blooms, glossy leaves and very vigorous. Good luck--I'm new here, and this site has been great.

Thank you so much everyone for responding back. I'm going to check out suggestions made by all of you. We dug up half our front lawn 2 summers ago and made it into a rose garden. I have a black-gated arbor at the entrance to it and a small waterfall to the back with a statue of the Blessed Mother over it. I can't believe how much work it has taken to put this rose garden in. My Seattle dirt was solid clay and my husband couldn't hardly get a pick or shovel through it. So he spent the end of summer '05 and all last summer '06 digging up all the clay dirt, hauling it off in buckets and then bringing in good dirt. My rose garden is a rectangle with 6 foot wide beds all around for 30 roses. He also put in a soaker hose and hooked it up to our sprinkler system. This year we thought it would be easy because all the digging was done but actually finding the right roses has been harder than I thought. I would rather put some extra thought to the roses now though, instead of having to stress out over them after they are planted because of disease.

Phyl, how do you keep the deer from eating your roses? My sister lives in Woodinville, WA and she has lots of deer. She's quite the gardener but decided to give up on roses this year because the deer keep eating them up. And as far as buying the "Morning has Broken" rose....I just bought "Velvet Fragrance" from Heirloom, it is tiny but I'm going to plant it in a pot and let it get bigger before I put it in the rose garden. Maybe you could do that too and put it somewhere the deer can't get to it. Then when you get back from your trip in June you can plant it out in your garden. I did that last year with "Antique", a climbing rose from Heirloom and since it was so little in my garden I put a tomato cage around it to protect it. The Heirloom roses do grow fast though, so you won't have to wait long for it to grow bigger.

Again, thanks everyone, I'm new here too and it's great to be able share tips.
