I would llike to find very fragrant roses that are free of black spot disease. I don't use insecticides. All roses I grew died of black spot disease.
I would appreciate hearing from any grower of fragrant roses living in hot, humid summer zones.

Unfortunately, most of the really blackspot-resistant roses tend to be the less fragrant ones. Here are a few suggestions.
One really good one is Louis Philippe, a china with a very nice perfume.
Another is Maggie, a bourbon. It is very fragrant. It does get some blackspot, but not terrible and many people in the southeastern US, where it is very humid and hot, grow it successfully without spraying.
Basye's Blueberry has a fantastic fragrance. It does blackspot, but mine blooms and does fine anyway without any spraying at all.
