Many thanks to those of you who took time and effort to answer my questions.
I also love Grandmother's Hat and have two of them that do pretty well.
I love my Pretty Jessica and Wise Portia, both David Austins. They both do well and get some shade. I hope they are still available as they both are wonderful.
Princess Alexandra of Kent, is only on its first season and it is full of blooms. Really gorgeous, and in full sun. (Very unusual in my garden as even with two market umbrellas shading the roses, many still get too much sun.)
Munstead Wood receives more shade than sun but is holding its own.
My Perpetual Hybrids are not doing as well as they did several years ago. Not sure why.
Duchess de Brabant is fantastic on the north side of our house. It's huge and happy and produces lots of flowers in flushes.
Many many thanks for typing out the DA rose list of heat tolerant roses. Much appreciated.

btw, I contacted the Huntington web site regarding rose fertilizers they use. They use Scott's Natural Lawn Care (!) pellets along with liquid seaweed (Grow More brand), Jump Start Plant Tonic (Grow More) and Verde (Humboldt Nutrients). Has anyone tried these products? If so, what were your results?
Once again, many thanks.
Always seeking recommendations and advice. I welcome suggestions for heat loving roses with great scent, disease resistance, and long vase life.
