Potter and Moore, one of the older Austins, has that look. Mine is own-root and stays under four feet. It's available at Rogue Valley Roses and I think also Heirloom Roses. There may be nurseries closer to you that carry it. It doesn't have disease in my garden but that would be meaningless given where you live. Pretty Jessica stays cupped for a long period but is not easy to find these days.

Some of my favorite smaller Austins meet those criteria--Boscobel; Darcy Bussell; Munstead Wood; Olivia Rose Austin; and Princess Alexandra of Kent. At least, Austin describes them as opening in cup form, but maturing into rosette form. Can't guarantee these will be bs-resistant in your region, but Austin lists them all as disease resistant. Olivia Rose is supposedly especially bs resistant, but I won't be able to personally testify to that until I get my plant this coming spring.

There is a whole Polyantha family of sports descending from the Rambler 'Tausendschon' which have cup-shaped blooms. I've never grown them because they're basically scentless, and most of my rose-shopping was led by my nose. One place to start is by searching the word "koster" in HelpMeFind, and you'll see a bunch of the family. The main difference between them is in the bloom color.

A lot of the Austins have pretty cupped blooms but another you might look at is the floribunda Pomponella.

I second the polyantha Koster family, if you are willing to have polyantha sized blooms (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter) - they are very cupped. I started out with an ancient bush of Margo Koster (peachy orange), which then sported to a dark raspberry color. It was stable, so I planted one of each color next to the other in a bed. The raspberry one sported to pure white, which was also stable. So, now I have bushes in three colors - they are all wonderful. I am awaiting their next move with interest.

You need to fix your "name" - I keep looking at the Florida part, although it sounds as if you have moved to GA. Anyway, I do not know anything about the climate in GA, but Duchesse de Brabant has lovely cupped blooms. It is a tea rose. I don't know if you can keep it smaller, but someone on here who lives in GA will hopefully speak up about that. Here is a pic:

I really like cup-shaped roses too although that isn't a deciding factor when I choose which one to buy. I am no-spray and look for hardy healthy rose that can survive without a lot of fuss. If you don't mind that these aren't David Austin roses, here are some that I know about.

Dames de Chenanceau (sp?)- This one is a Delbard floribunda with very full flowers and a lot of scent. It seems to be a pink/peach/apricot combo if that makes sense. I remove buds at this stage so I don't know much more than that but I did let it bloom once so I could see if I got the right one. This is the first year for me with this rose so I can't make decisions about health yet nor do I know how it will winter over. What I can tell you is that this rose and my one other Delbard rose are only happy when they're in direct (hot) sun most of the day for me. It is supposed to stay under 3 ft. and so far it looks like it will.

Madame Figaro- Also a Delbard rose that I got from my C list during the sale at RU. Full petaled, pale pink, and very cup-shaped, it reminds me of my old Mrs. F D Roosevelt peonies. Also very fragrant. This one is also new for me so I can tell that it needs plenty of sun but not much else. Half day sun or morning sun won't do. However, both Delbards can handle a hot dry spell better than the others. She should stay under 4 ft. but I understand that this rose grows taller rather than wider so it might work out in a narrow spot.

Radiance- How about a hybrid tea? This is a very old one that my grandmother used to grow in NE Ohio and it was my grandfather's favorite. I can tell you that it also had a nice fragrance and was very cup-shaped. I remember this rose blooming long into the fall when snow was falling. For a long time I didn't know what it was but eventually I found it and identified it by its almost bowl-shaped roses. It's a pink rose with darker pink on the reverse and it has a deep pink sport called "Red Radiance". Either one can take a some shade and will bounce back from all sorts of adversity. I haven't tried this one in Tennessee and don't know how it will grow in Georgia but it stayed under 4' in Ohio. My guess is that it would get taller but you might keep it shorter by pruning. It's also an upright grower so you might still fit it in a 4 ft. spot if it has some headroom.

Sweet Chariot- What about a mini? There are a lot of mini's that are cup-shaped but this one isn't teeny tiny and should fit in with other roses under 4'. The little roses just cover the shrub when it's in full bloom and it's so fragrant! The shrub form is also lovely, sort of a vase shape, almost weeping. It's in an out-of-the-way spot. At times I forget it's there so it gets ignored a lot but it keeps on going.

It would be fun to make a garden with nothing but cup-shaped roses. There are so many pretty ones that have been posted so far!

My offering is -------- Leonardo da Vinci.

I have Duchess d'Brabant. I keep mine rather small, although I am now encouraging it to climb up the porch. It does very well, although it does attract thrips. I also like many of the Austins. Alnwick Rose has very nice cupped blooms.

Wow, Mossy. I've wanted Leonardo for several years and your photo is extreme eye candy for me. Luscious. Can you tell us more about Leonardo--size, repeat, grafted or not...anything you especially like about the rose. I'm trying to talk myself into growing Leonardo, but I've got to come up with some space. Diane

Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. So many great roses.

Diane, I had Leonardo for most of two seasons, and he stayed short for me, but was a good producer of blooms. The blooms lasted quite awhile, I don't remember any fragrance. He wasn't terribly happy with my wet climate, I imagine he would do better for you. I don't remember where I got him, so I don't know if he was grafted (I had all that info on a list on my computer, but that got wiped out recently).

@Kes Z 7a E Tn Hi there I know this is an old post but I’m dying to know how your Madame Figaro is doing! I’m in zone 7a Tennessee as well! Been hunting down a cupped pink bloom that won’t black spot here! I want to be a no spray so I’m saying my goodbye to David Austin roses. Send me a message if you can, it would mean the world.
