Hello,

I'm hoping to get a rose recommendation, please. I'm looking for a standard rose, with a pink / purple bloom. My location is Melbourne, Australia, which is a relatively Mediterranean climate, lows of 1 or 2 degrees Celsius, highs in upper 30s, with occasional short periods of low 40s (for USA readers, think roughly San Jose climate).

The roses will have full sun all day. We have a shocking amount of blackspot locally, so I need something that is disease resistant. Soil is clay, but the beds the roses will be in will be slightly raised, so we can fill with something a bit nicer if required!

Please advise!
