Disease-resistant Roses

Naturally disease-resistant roses, never get sick even without treatment and are completely unaffected by blackspot, powdery mildew, or rust. Among the best is the 'Bonica' rose from Meilland, often mentioned as one of the most awarded varieties of its generation. Also on the podium are the varieties holding the famous A.D.R label (Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung) such as 'Emera' or 'Opalia', some old-fashioned roses, and a few botanical species. Among the old-fashioned roses are hybrids of Rosa rugosa ('Hansa', 'Blanc double de Coubert'...), alba roses ('Cuisse de Nymphe'), and the moss rose 'Salet'. Among the botanical species and their close hybrids, we have Rosa complicata and Rosa hugonis, bushes that never disappoint, even when grown in unfavourable conditions (excessive humidity or heat). Among climbing roses, we can always rely on the good health of 'Ghislaine de Féligonde'. Finally, among the rambling roses, wonderful old creations such as 'Mermaid' or 'Felicité et Perpétue' have never seen a sprayer in their lives for many gardeners.
