Sam,

>From what I've researched, couldn't agree more (with both the alba
recommendation in general and the "Queen of Denmark" choice in particular).

Here's what I'm going to order for next year (emphasis on both disease
resistance - especially black spot - and fragrance, with consideration
also given to appearance:

Dornroschen (based on similarity to last name, and my purported demeanor)
Sunsprite
Ebb Tide (the next 2 for oldest daughter's college, on graduation)
Marie Pavie
Ispahan
Westerland
Felicia
Belle de Crecy
The McCartney Rose
Konigin von Danemark
Buff Beauty
Rosa moschata plena

Thanks, all, for your various & appreciated inputs on this off topic
matter.

Please all feel free to chime in with any personal experience for your
area, especially if you are zone 5 - 7 east coast.

Title: Message
The alba roses tend to be very healthy.  I don't believe I've ever seen blackspot or mildew on my Koenigen von Daenemark.  It's very fragrant but blooms only once a year.  -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.

Any recommendations for own root, old roses w/fragrance & disease resistance (mid-atlantic)?

Am presently considering for next year:
Louise Odier, Belle de crecy, marie pavie, marchesea boccella, felicite parmentier, rosa moschata, rosa primula, reine des violettes, great maidens blush.  Would souvenir de la malmaison be blackspot resistant?

Thanks!  That sounds like what I have.  That's not worth keeping, so  
I'll dig it out when I get around to it.

I prefer own-rooted roses, to, and that's what I buy, but this one  
was a gift, and I planted it late enough in the year that rooting a  
cutting wouldn't have been an option even if I'd thought of it.
