    Thank you so much for your suggestions everyone. 
    I like the look of many of those mentioned here. Royal jubilee looks especially nice to me. I have 5 spots so might get moonlight, royal jubilee, wild rover and not sure about the other 2 yet. 
    I've enjoyed reading all the suggestions. Thank you

    @Pete.8  It was your posts that persuaded me with Moonlight. It sounds perfect for my garden. I thought I'd run out of rose space (as you do) but I have just made a new clearance for it. Autumn plotting.

    I'm sure you won't be disappointed @Fire it's not the most stunning rose in the garden, but its continuous blooms and nice habit make it one of my favourites

    Like Edhelka, bees show zero interest in my single flowered roses as they are too busy with the agastache and other stuff. 

    Happy rose buying TGG!
