Well, I thought about what I might be able to say. So I decided to try a comment about one of my roses. Here is the comment I just posted about Westerland-

Westerland is one of the very few climbing roses that I grow and one of my very first roses added to my garden. I choose it because of its lovely flowers and desease resistance. I do spray with systemic fungicide but Westerland is one of the few roses in my garden that really doesn't need the spraying. The first year I grew roses I didn't spray. My Austins were a blackspot mess while Westerland stayed shiney and blackspot free. Great rose that loves to bloom.
