I have several DA roses that perform adequately but not as well as I'd hoped. Any suggestions for DA roses that thrive in Southern California's dry climate? My yard doesn't offer them much shade so the sun really hits them.

I am also looking for a DA climber of pink tones to use on an obelisk. I have Evelyn and Mary Rose on two matching obelisks, and after 15 years, they finally had a great season. I believe it's because we had such a wet winter.

Any fertilizer suggestions? I fertilize weekly with organic products and Karma, and must use foliage spray in my backyard since my dogs will eat anything on the ground. I could use any type of organic fertilizer in my front yard as it's dog free, so am open to suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Always seeking recommendations and advice. I welcome suggestions for heat loving roses with great scent, disease resistance, and long vase life.
