: Is there some other bush that looks alot like these? I have seen some that don't have any red on them at all, just dark green. I really like those look, I don't like the red too much.

: I also have read they become diseased very easily.

Hi Jane,
You are correct that photinia is prone to black spot and can become an unsightly mess. Hawthorne might be a good substitue.
