has anyone ever come across a selection of this rose that's blackspot resistant?

Ironically, foetida itself isn't very susceptible to BS when well cared for- it is the descendants you have to look out for.

I actually disagree. Both it and its mutation parent like... melt here. Literally, it spots so badly that it looks like the foliage is melting off of it. It looks... really bad :[ It begins in May and is over by the end of June. Our weather is essentially the exact opposite of where it is native.

Interesting! It is quite clean here!

Which area? I have seen it clean and naturalized on the dry half (Eastern) of Idaho, which is outside of the major Pac. NW rain systems.

(More or less) Mid-Atlantic East Coast. Which is, thinking about it, even stranger.

Well, there are many strains to most fungii. I know that my area is highly prone to 2 types of BS, but rarely prone to mildew types.

Mar 2011 Austrian Copper is sold in NorCAL in Half Moon Bay at Pastorini's Nursery on the south side of highway <92> when heading west toward the ocean. It appears rangey & thorny, definitely a 'wild austrian' look to it; But it did have blooms on it that sunny September day in 2010.

"Austrian Copper - R. foetida bicolor - Grows to 7 feet, reasonably hardy. Single bright orange, very startling. Most people love it, but I think it swears at everything else, and should be planted by itself. Blooms once, sets seed. I have seen no black spot."
Walter Schowalter - Alberta, Canada notes 1985

Could this rose be planted in a large 1/2 wine barrel and thrive?

Yes this rose will be okay in your container. Keep a watch out for disease as this rose is very prone to black spot.
