Thanks, @Eglantyne and @Nollie for your suggestions! Sounds like my roses need some TLC. I'm quite the novice with roses so need all the help I can get!
Thanks @Marlorena, I think Golden Beauty will be perfect. I just need to track down someone that has it and will post to me. Kordes seem to have a good reputation for disease resistance, which, by necessity, is becoming an important factor for me. All my David Austins have bad blackspot already, even my beloved LD Braithwaite is near defoliated and it’s only just June!
Gorgeous roses everyone, even if I don’t say so to you individually!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Moonlight -the most floriferous rose I've ever grown. A great first flush and continues to flower throughout the season until Christmas. It's grown through and over the fence and my neighbour has a similar display on her side. I've never pruned it as I'm not able to get to most of it
Billericay - Essex

It is lovely. I have a baby of Kiftsgate just flowering which is a relief as I had no idea what it would be like when I dug it up from our Belgian garden to bring here.
Not a lot here when we arrived just ex pasture, scrub, weeds and a few shrubs and trees but just look what has flowered in our boundary hedge this year -
Vielchenblau I believe and very welcome.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

It's a repeat rambler @Fire I planted it many years ago and forgot about it, but the display is amazing, it's just keeps on flowering. It's open flowered and buzzing with bees. The young foliage is a deep red and there's a slight scent

@Pete.8 The one I linked above - David Austin site - mentions it as a shrub rose. Are there different incarnations of the rose, I wonder? Or perhaps the lines between types get blurred. I didn't know repeat ramblers were a thing. Thanks for that.

Somebody has just given me a present of Wild Eve. Full of buds but no flowers yet.
