| I know we've played this game before, but please share with me any yellow or almost yellow rose you have that doesn't cover itself with blackspot without spraying. Even if it is almost white or almost orange, single, double, or zillion petal, climber or shrub, whatever kind you've got! I love yellows and hate that they are the shade most commonly plagued with disease. Blackspot is a huge problem in my area & I do not spray so I have to be very selective with this family of color, which is a shame because I want them all! I'll start off by saying these have been my best so far:
Julia Child
Happy Go Lucky
Honey Bouquet
Thanks to all of you who participate! Jessica |

| The early Chinese species yellows. R. hugonis and R. primula are the two I have, but there are others. A solid cloud of yellow in the spring, followed by excellent foliage for the rest of the year. |

| Molineux, although the problem here is Rust, not BS. |
RE: Your most disease resistant roses in the yellow family:

| Just to follow on Mad-Gallica's note on R. Hugonis: the material speciman (really a tree) in a nearby public garden seems to be bullet proof in the bs department. I have Solero Vigorosa and Golden Fairy Tale are spot less. Sunsprire was superb in past years, but this year went almost naked. If you count in golden hued roses, South Africa and Lady of Shallot are great for me in the bs resistant department. I don't spray for funga. Michael talked about the genetics of yellow in early thread. I cannot seem able to bring it up on my blackberry |

| Julia Child has the best black spot resistance of any of my roses. |
RE: Your most disease resistant roses in the yellow family:

| Molineux is a wonderful yellow/gold/apricot/cream colored rose and is better than average in BS resistance--but it could be better. There will be a couple times during the season when you will probably need to spray it. Austin's Lady of Shalott is supposed to be even more disease-resistant, but like Molineux, I find I need to help it along with a couple sprays or it will get BS. My best bs resistant yellow/cream/white is the grandiflora Elina. She is thorny as the dickens, but one of the better re-bloomers in my garden--and a bigger and fuller bush also. Occasionally I may give her a quick spray just to be on the safe side, but most of the time she has little or no BS problems. Kate |

| I would definitely agree that Julia Child is disease resistant. My Sunsprite seems to be resistant, along with Ch-Ching and Midas Touch. They may not have had a true test of disease resistance though, since this is only their second season and we've had below average rainfall. |

| I've got the same kind of BS pressure as you do, I don't spray, and Reve d'Or is one of the cleanest roses in my collection. I bought her as a 1 gallon this spring as she is growing like gangbusters. The other yellow that is very clean is Lady Hillingdon. I got her as a band last spring, planted her in the garden last fall. She died back to the ground over the winter and came back as a nicely shaped 2'x2' bush. She was clean until September when things got so dry. She's not on the irragation so got a bit of BS with the stress. Still kept most of her leaves so I consider that a very good showing. The third yellow-ish I have is Marianne a once blooming, apricot blend, climber. That one came as a band this spring then was put in the ground 6 weeks later to spend the summer in a holding garden. I didn't watch it quite as closely, but it was also pretty dang clean. |

| I see lots of BS in upsate NY. My Cl. Yellow Sunflare is completely BS free in this, its' first year. It remains to be seen if it can survive the winter. I also grew Cl. Sunflare in CA, where it was also rust and mildew free. Be aware that the clones currently in commerce in the US are infected with RMV; mine is from Palatine in Canada and so far I have not seen RMV markings. It has shiny, green foliage with a waxy look, inheirited, I think, from Capt. Thomas a few generations back. The sport parent is a seedling of Sunsprite, |

| I would second Climbing Sun Flare which is very clean in my mom's Coastal California garden. Julia Child is great regarding disease. Jeri Jennings has been clean for me, but my understanding is it isn't good for areas with high blackspot pressure. Jay |

| Midas Touch and Yellow Brick Road have been disease resistant for me so far, but I've only had them since April of this year. Few of my roses aren't naked now from blackspot, so I'm especially impressed with Midas Touch as it's a hybrid tea to boot! Yellow Brick Road is part of the Easy Elegance collection, which is known for disease resistance and is the reason I bought it. It doesn't hold up very well in rain, though, and it fades to white, unlike Midas Touch. |

| My sunsprite and Nacogdoches are over 3 years old and have been BS free, my sunsprite smells good too. I planted Julia child this summer and she has had a very minimal amout of BS right after I planted her but I picked off the BS leaves and cleaned up around her and she has been clean since. |

| For me, Golden Unicorn, although I lost it to RRV. New this year- Julia Child seems to be very healthy and seems to quickly shrug off the small amount of blackspot I've seen. Molineux also seems to do fairly well. During extreme heat and humidity I do see blackspot with considerable leaf loss but it seems like it recovers as soon as the weather changes. It may be that this will improve as it settles in. |

| Reve d'Or. Mine is a baby, and is still putting on height and size. It has grown from 8 inches tall and wide to 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide in the last 18 months. Not a speck of BS or rust, or mildew or anything. Not sprayed, needless to say. Jackie |

| South Africa - golden yellow, from Palatine this year |
