Joan Fountaine is a great old fashioned style rose for the southeastern USA. It rarely has blackspot and loves to bloom during the heat of summer (it must have some tea rose in its background.) It's main drawback is the nodding nature of its stems (also a nod to the tea rose.) A large heavy bud/bloom that needs a thicker stem than it develops. I'd grow it again.
