Which roses do you find most susceptible to blackspot?

[Rosieblues]

I'm very sadly thinking of replacing the Margaret Merril rose in my garden as I am constantly losing the battle of blackspot with it, despite almost constant mollycoddling. At one point I took all the infected leaves off as recommend and it was almost naked! It's such a shame, as its such a beautiful (and beautifully scented) rose but I just don't find it that healthy. I've got a few others, including a Generous Gardener, a Olivia Rose Austin, and a Desdemona, and they all seem to be holding up pretty well. Could anyone suggest a healthy replacement? TIA

I've just realised I should have titled this thread 'most resistant to blackspot'- oh well, hopefully you get the idea!!

Neglected roses - the ones that never get regular feeds, nor a mulch around the base. If fallen leaves with blackspot aren’t picked up and destroyed this helps the spores linger and spread.

You may have already tried this, but mine were so much better when I underplanted with salvia - something in the scent is supposed to help.

Might be worth a try if you want to save it!

Thank you all! @Jongleterre thank you, that is a really beautiful rose! And I love roses with an 'old rose' scent too so that is incredibly tempting! @FarFarAwayB rather than neglected I'd say they're actually a bit mollycoddled! The roses in my garden probably get more attention than anything else. They're fed, watered, deadheaded, sprayed with an organic antifungal spray and mulched in the spring. I was wondering if mulching in the autumn might help too? Thanks @helly29 yes I tried this, I underplanted with salvia and with some alliums too (I heard they could also help) but this particular plant is still getting affected quite badly. The other roses in the border get the odd infected leaf but nothing like the Margaret Merril does.
