Do that, Neal. I was truly amazed when I made my list a few years ago and then had to keep crossing names off the list constantly as the black-spot season went on. The roses that surprised me the most were the Buck roses, which I mistakenly had expected to have some resistance. I have almost 50 Buck cultivars in my garden (plus duplicates of some of those), and all of them looked horrible for at least a month at the end of spring. Luckily, they're scattered all around the garden, so I didn't have whole rose beds of unrelieved horror.
Everything looks good now. As soon as the black-spot season, curculio-weevil season, and sawfly-larvae season are over, the roses look good for the rest of the year.
