Does anyone have experience with this rose? Disease resistance? Parent? Thanks

I am sure you have already read what help me find website says about it. Help me find says it is very disease resistant, which surprised me as every dark red rose I have ever seen seems to have some sort of fungal disease that rots the flower before they are properly open even.
I have never grown this rose, or seen it, but am curious about its beautiful colour, though its negatives for me would be that it isn’t single or semi-double, and that it has no or little scent. The first of these wouldn’t be a negative for most people, I just prefer roses that pollinators can access and that don’t droop or nod because the flower is too heavy for the stem.

Mine doesn’t set hips too easily and gets some black spot, but black spot develops slower in it than other roses it seems. With Lasting Love as a parent, perhaps you could draw out fragrance in another generation again. I should try to use it as a male parent, but haven’t yet.
