Apple Jack is the only Buck rose that survived here. Its huge shrub and dependable repeater.
As for Austin's Constance Spry is outstanding.
Huge cabbage blossoms with a most enchanting, strong scent
but once blooming. Heritage and her white sport Mary Rose
are quite hardy and repeat bloomers and Mary Rose sends
up some pretty tall canes but not cane hardy.
As for once blooming roses I consider then just as worthy as other
once bloomer I would never live without like lilacs, peonies etc.
plus many are intensely fragrant.
So I don't get the prejudice against once blooming roses.
