I haven’t included multiples, e.g. I counted Munstead Wood as one variety tho I have four of them. Reckon you are going to win the headcount any which way @Tack!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
..don't worry Tack, I used to have about 100 but I've downsized quite a bit... credit for growing 55 in pots.. takes some doing that..
..just to add, I used to speak to a lady in the U.S. who had some 1800 roses, all in pots.. another had some 1500, all planted.. what we have isn't much really... Monty Don has over 200.. the country's eminent rosarian Charles Quest-Ritson has about 1000 by his own admission..
All is well. I've just been out to commune with the roses, there is in fact 1 fewer (I'll need to check my records for which I haven't marked Given Away) and only a mere sufficiency after all. Although after Marlorena's kind words maybe not quite at capacity.

Pots vary - about a dozen at the moment but some are going in the ground this year.
* a couple of my rejects OH rescued for outside her garden office, which don’t really count!
I'm asking because I'm planning to put two new Natalie Thypels into long term pots.

I've got 21 varieties - 3 in long term pots, 1 at the allotment.
10 growing as climbers.
17 of them are DA.
