Spraying disease resistant a rose

I'm growing Hyde Hall, which so far is showing the disease resistance DA claims. I normally spray for BS but have avoided spraying HH because of a statement I found on their website: "Hyde Hall... Suitable for organic gardeners, it often takes great exception to being sprayed - as do most roses with rugosa in their breeding".

What do you think they mean by "takes great exception" - what might be the consequences of spraying? I use Honor Guard and Green Cure, Mancozeb when things get bad.

Just curious...

When you spray rugosas, their leaves dry up and fall off.

This has to do with the physical makeup of rugosa foliage.
