Thank you for the welcome Margie and for the insightful information it's a wonderful guide! I see you've listed Singin in the Rain, I remember I sought that rose once years back but at the time I couldn't find it, maybe I'll have better luck this time. Your flower bed is beautiful, I also love the idea of the Picaso program, it's something that's right up my alley.
While not my best performers but roses that are high up on the list would also be Earth Song and Double Kock out, both have excellent disease resistance.
There is one on your list Margie that I have, it's also a great performer, which is the beautiful Blue Berry Hill. I got her from Heirloom own root, however she BS's a lot more than the others. I suspect it's because she's next to my Hybrid tea Moon Shadow which gets decimated by BS and defoliates unless I spray. There are several I'm thinking of replacing because of the level of BS they get.
I'm from Queens NY perhaps not too far from where you are on LI.
I'm somewhat familiar with rrd virus after looking into it long ago but I definitely need to revist that concern, thanks for the reminder and for the link and for the help!
