Our summers are always hot and very humid - well, our winters are humid too for that matter. I have never had any hybrid teas do really well except Lafter which absolutely thrives (I keep checking to be sure it really is a hybrid tea). Floribundas also gradually fade away here after several years including Iceberg. Europeana keeps blooming but has no leaves. The roses that consistently do well are the old garden roses: Cecile Brunner has bloomed all summer, Katy Road Pink, Mutabilis, Souvenir de la Malmaison, Archduke Charles, Sombreuil, Mermaid, Caldwell Pink, Duchesse de Brabant, Old Blush, among others, all do well every year. Some of the David Austins do okay unless it rains a lot, but they don't keep their leaves as well as the oldies.
