Yellow Rose recommendation please

Could you recommend a repeat flowering yellow rose bush up to 150cm in height to go in a  South East facing garden please? Fragrance would be a bonus as would be disease resistance. Thank you.

    I have found Graham Thomas very reluctant to establish.  However, Teasing Georgia proved much more willing and has great perfume and a rich colour.   I am on the lookout for one for this new garden.  

    I planted The Pilgrim last year and so far so good.  It's a much more lemony yellow.

    ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ may be slightly shorter than the height you specify but in all other respects it is perfect ... and very healthy ... absolutely fabulous

    Thank you everyone, for your recommendations. @AnniD, can I just check something with you? the link you sent is lovely and looks great at those specs but when I looked up Graham Thomas on the Austin site there was a huge climber of the same name. Are there two types?

     David Austin Rosa golden celebration is a fabulous rose and has a beautiful scent, non stop flowering.

    Absolutely Fabulous is vigorous and an extraordinary bloom machine - never stops here whatever the weather - heatproof, rainproof, everything proof. It can get bigger than stated. Little scent for me. The only downside is that, come the end of summer, it blackspots and defoliates very rapidly. When she blows, she blows. Still, keeps on flowering regardless and will produce new foliage with ease. I wouldn’t be without it.

    Graham Thomas comes either as a shrub or as a climber - as does The Pilgrim.

    I bought Grosvenor House last year from Peter Beales as I had seen it growing in their garden and loved it. It is a paler yellow, though.

    Arthur Bell is another lovely rose, but smaller. https://www.classicroses.co.uk/roses/arthur-bell-bush-rose.html

    We'll get you confused now!

    Yes there are 2 types  :)

    The ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ in the garden I know had never had a bad attack of blackspot, and they tell me they don’t spray it. They garden organically so I have no reason to doubt that. It’s in quite a rural spot so maybe there aren’t many Blackspot spores in the area :/
