disease-resistant cultivars?

Dear list members:

First, let me say that I'm new to the list--just discovered it existed 
today. I'm eager to join the discussion--or at least to listen 
attentively.

I'm a journalist and gardener researching disease-resistant roses for a 
book (mine) to be published in fall 1998 (I'll be happy to provide 
details for anyone who wishes to know). I'm been compiling a list of 
cultivars (shrub roses, large-flowered roses, and cluster-flowered roses) 
said by various experts to be resistant to fungal diseases. But I'd like 
to test these suggestions by hearing which roses gardeners in various 
parts of the U.S. are able to grow with relatively few disease problems: 
specifically, plants that can be grown without the use of fungicidal 
sprays and powders.

If you'd be willing to offer some suggested cultivar names--and to take a 
look at a 1 to 5 scale I think might be useful for ranking disease 
resistance--please e-mail me privately.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mary C. Weaver
