Roses for bees

Hi all,
I'd like to purchase some more rose bushes but have told myself I can't have any more unless the pollinators also find them useful. I really like the slightly more 'full' look on a rose although i can cope without that . I'm in love with the Ebb tide rose but doubt that's any use to bees.
Can anyone share some recommendations of deep pink or purplish roses that are good for bees and also have a good scent ?
I've got my eye on wild rover but would like a few more options as I have 5 empty spots .
Thanks in advance

If you like the fuller blooms, I wouldn’t get too hung up on roses for bees, just use companion planting around them that is bee friendly - both you and the bees are happy then
It flowers profusely in spring then there are fewer flowers for a few weeks then it has another flourish for several weeks in the summer. It was still in flower in December last year. I've let mine do its own thing for the 20ish years it's been here and never properly pruned it.
The young foliage in the spring is a deep burgandy colour and shows off the flowers really well.
I posted a pic earlier this year
