Thanks to our local rose society's efforts, we've found Solitaire to be practically impervious to disease in our foggy and damp Pacific Coast climate and are bringing it back into U.S. commerce.  It doesn't hurt that the flower form is near perfect bloom after bloom, as well.Janet SclarAmity Rose & Garden Nursery

Solitaire looks like a very good rose inside and out!!
Thank you Janet for this posting about Solitaire's health qualities!! I am so glad to hear that it is very disease resistant--I am assuming the diseases you are citing are blackspot and powdery mildew. As I said I am planning on using my three Solitaire roses I have coming this month in my hybridizing activities. I sure hope it is able to pass along it's fine quality and fragrance as well as it's disease resistance. Disease resistance is on the top of my list when it comes to breeding new roses. If they can't stay reasonably healthy with normal care and conditions, it isn't a very good rose as far as I am concerned.

As a budded plant, here in my garden this rose has an unusual growth habit.

It's growth is vigorous but awkward, something between a very tall Hybrid Tea and a Climber.
