Try Knock-out brand roses - they're disease resistent. They're shrub roses - I have a bunch of them - love 'em. So much better than tea roses. You should have no trouble buying them locally. I've bought them at Lowes and KMart.

If you are using Jackson & Perkins catalog look for the words ‘German bred’ or Kordes roses. Highly disease resistant.
I buy own root roses vs. grafted & several reputable companies online are available.
Chamblees, Heirloom, Roses Unlimited & High Country Roses all sell own root roses. Look for the Kordes ones.
Earth Angel, Savannah & Plum Perfect are very fragrant & disease resistant.

Appreciate your Knockout suggestion but I had two- one taken out last year and pulling one this spring. One looked sick and aware that disease with Knockouts killing many.
Wow - sorry to hear this - I've had them for years - never a problem. They're very hardy too for our Northeast winters.

Our knockout roses also developed a disease. Also, the ones that the deer could reach became flower less.

Best rose I ever had was a big beautiful Queen Elizabeth! It was tall, vigorous and survived everything.

Queen Elizabeth is a very pretty rose. I also love Mr. Lincoln, Double Delight, Perfume Delight, Tropicana, and more. I used to give my roses a weekly spraying to prevent/control disease and insect issues, so I can't speak to their resistance if unsprayed.

Queen Elizabeth is a very popular grandiflora rose but it isn't disease resistant.
Some that are: Strike It Rich, About Face, Madame Anisette, Sunshine Daydream & Mother of Pearl.

What kind of sun exposure? Is there a drainage issue?
