Notes:

The Plant Science Dept. of the Nova Scotia Agriculture College evaluated 58 English Roses to assess their hardiness and disease-resistance. Lordly Oberon was found to be reasonably tolerant to blackspot.

A variety that David Austin considers inferior and does not recommend growing unless you're a collector.
