I grow two Gallicas here in Ann Arbor, MI.; Belle de Crecy and The
Apothecaries Rose (rosa gallica officinalis).  Gallicas have a long
period of bloom in the spring, but do not repeat.   Mine do mildew
slightly during the peak summer months, but this doesn't seem to
affect them.   I believe they'd do fine for you.
