Laura,
Following is a motley list of the roses that I have neither deadheaded nor, guilty grimace, fertilized since August last year. I have to admit that every year is the same for me, I don't get around to deadheading, and often, not to pruning either.They are in any kind of dog's breakfast order, sort of a mental walk around the garden. They have continued healthy and abundant with bloom. No doubt I'll pay a price in little rose seedlings popping up all over the garden, although our parrots do a clean up, like it or not, by eating the hips in winter. [And the roses sometimes]. Oh and BTW the roses vary in age from 7 years to 3.
I don't know if my laissez faire rose care manual will strike a chord with you all or horror in your hearts.
Some are Australian roses and won't be familiar to you. I've listed only repeat flowering ones as obviously the once flowering ones I leave to make hips anyway.
