Yellow for the back of the border

I am thinking of replacing Traviata. It produces blooms non stop 12 months of the year. However 10-11 of those months, the blooms are destroyed by thrips. They say light colored roses are worse but this is my worst one and it is red. It also is always infected with bs even though it gets sprayed every week. I have a lot of red and thought a nice yellow would be nice. I need something that can take the heat and humidity. I want good rebloom and hopefully something that stays pretty healthy and (fingers are crossed here) can be pretty insect resistant. I do spray fungicide but am trying to get away from it. I have a 6' fence so something that I could keep clipped to that height.I like Austins and am thinking of the Pilgrim. Anyone know how it does in heat and humidity? But am open to suggestions.
